Recent research by ESA Living Planet Fellow Marco Bellacicco in the frame of project PHYSIOGLOB gives new insights on how the choice of the regression method influences the derived bio-optical relationships in optical and satellite oceanographic studies. The authors compare the results obtained with diverse regression methods on the same bio-optical data set and quantify …
During the last few years, the Nouvelle-Aquitaine coast has been repeatedly hit by severe storms causing coastline retreat of several meters (from 10 to 40 meters in 2013-2014, from 5 to 13 meters in 2018). Modelled sea-level rise impact on the same coastline is projected to cause (see the Néo Terra 2019 and the AcclimaTerra …
