CIMOPOLEE : Monitoring the impact of tropical cyclones in Madagascar
Description
The CIMOPOLEE project monitors the impacts of tropical cyclones in the south-west Indian Ocean, providing rapid qualitative and quantitative information on the impact of cyclones and monitoring the resilience of affected areas over time.
Details
Madagascar, which faces increased vulnerability due to its geographical position and the exacerbation of extreme weather events by climate change, confronts significant challenges in assessing cyclone impacts and ensuring long-term resilience.
The CIMOPOLEE project responds to this urgency by providing rapid assessment tools crucial for emergency management and land-use planning.
Relying on high-resolution satellite imagery from Sentinel-1 and 2, the tool maps affected areas and tracks changes over time, offering vital insights for risk management and scientific inquiry.
