Devoted to collaborative research in the inter-tropical regions of the globe, it has strong experience in leading consortia in international and Euro-Mediterranean contexts and has developed expertise in the water issues in arid regions.

A team of IRD hydrologists, physicists and soil scientists, belonging to an inter-institutional research laboratory, the Centre d'Etudes Spatiales de la Biosphère, (CESBIO, Toulouse) is involved in the project.

CESBIO has a total number of teaching staff and researchers including Post-doc and Ph.D students of about 60, studying the functioning of land surfaces and of their interactions with climate and human activities by using remote sensing measurements. Approaches include the development of methods for retrieving surface biophysical parameters and the assimilation of nearly any kind of remotely sensed data in process models.
