Who we are<\/h1><\/div>

Founded in 2001, HYGEOS is the first French\u00a0worker cooperative enterprise<\/strong> (Soci\u00e9t\u00e9 coop\u00e9rative – SCOP<\/strong> – in French<\/em>) of the civil space industry. HYGEOS processes, analyses and validates satellite imagery for extracting high precision information on the state of Earth and atmosphere.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

\"Logo<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Our team<\/a>\u00a0carries out research and development activities in optical remote sensing. Thanks to its\u00a0expertise in radiative transfer<\/strong> in the atmosphere, in the ocean and over land, HYGEOS performs prospective studies to help define system requirements of future Earth Observation satellite missions and develops in-house methods, software, tools and products to exploit the satellite imagery<\/a>\u00a0information.<\/p>\n

HYGEOS is constantly\u00a0innovating<\/a>\u00a0in connection with research institutes and academic world. This strong association guarantees\u00a0state-of-the-art scientific algorithms<\/strong> supported by the most recent technologies to process large datasets. HYGEOS is also investing in the training of Ph.D students.<\/p>\n

Through\u00a0international collaborations<\/strong>, HYGEOS actively participates in European Earth Observation programmes monitoring the\u00a0open ocean and coastal waters<\/a>, the\u00a0land ecosystems<\/a>, the\u00a0air quality<\/a> and the climate. We also respond to industry needs in the renewable energy domain by providing\u00a0solar resources estimates<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>
