Webinar on new satellite data for hydrological applications

Remote sensing databases are becoming more and more diverse, with different sensors making it possible to better observe the different compartments of the water cycle. These new data allow major advances in the monitoring of water resources, hydrological risks, and are increasingly used in operational applications. This webinar was co-organized on September, 20, 2022 by the GDRI RHYMA and SPACE4SUST to present recent applications of remote sensing data in hydrology.
