Organization

Governance

Our project is lead by INRAE (French institute of research in agriculture, food and environment) and IRD (French institute of research and development).

The MTD geospatial data infrastructure has been developed at La maison de la télédétection by people from UMR TETIS, UMR Espace-Dev and UAR Data-Terra.

Partners

Our partners include the TETIS and Espace-Dev research labs, the ISDM (data science institute of Montpellier, France) and the CROCc (Occitanie research cloud initiative, located in Montpellier, France), the DiPSO (department for open and reproducible science from INRAE), and Data-Terra (french research infrastructure).

Ongoing projects

Various project are relying over the geospatial data infrastucture to benefit from the autonomous delivery of products in the STAC/COG standards.

• Center for Data and Services of THEIA-Land: The data and services center of THEIA-Montpellier provides products focused on the forest thematics. Read more in the post about the Montpellier Data and Services center of THEIA-Land !
• Data-Terra provides founding and resources to develop a virtual runtime environment that goes on top of our infrastructure,
• Mosaic (IRD, University of Warsaw (Poland), the African Conservation Center (Kenya)): production of S1 and S2 images,
• Committee on Eartho Observation Satellites (CEOS) demonstrator: a data cube demonstrator on notebook, lead by INRAE and French Space Agency (CNES),
• Photovoltaic roofs mapping (INRAE): mapping at pixel scale buildings with solar pannels on the roof, mainly in rural areas,
