Cartographie des temps de submersion annuels du lac Poyang, en Chine, de 2000 à 2010

Mapping of annual submersion times of Lake Poyang in China, from 2000 to 2010. This image was produced by SERTIT (Regional Agency for Image Processing and Remote Sensing), an ICube laboratory platform. It uses space imagery to monitor the space-time evolution of submerged surfaces and thus better understand their operation and adapt management policies in respect of these sensitive ecosystems. Furthermore, the fluctuation of the water level influences the conditions conducive to the presence and growth of parasitic disease vectors.

Our work is guided by the way scientists question the world around them and we translate their research into images to help people to understand the world better and to awaken their curiosity and wonderment.
