Environment & Climate
Our mission: To develop and deliver operational services based on satellite and in-situ data for the conservation of the planet.
CLS brings its expertise to biodiversity, climate, and natural resources, supporting international sustainable development policies.
Know Today, Live Better Tomorrow
The international community has made sustainable development, climate change mitigation and adaptation, and natural resource management major priorities. At CLS, we develop solutions based on the latest space technologies, the result of 30 years of collaboration with the scientific community.
Our tools collect precise data on wildlife, oceans, freshwater resources, the impacts of climate change, and the state of our territories. This information provides concrete solutions to protect biodiversity, optimize agricultural practices, and support urban resilience. We also contribute to the sustainable management of water and forest resources.
Our services improve monitoring of the planet’s environmental state while supporting land conservation and responsible planning. These data enable policymakers, decision-makers, industries, and citizens to take more informed and sustainable actions.

A Unique Expertise in Satellite Altimetry for Climate and Ocean Monitoring
For more than 30 years, CLS has played a key role in ocean observation and climate tracking through space altimetry. As a historical partner of major space agencies (CNES, NASA, ESA, EUMETSAT), we design, process, validate, and operate highly accurate satellite data systems.
Our space oceanography and altimetry services feed vital climate indicators—sea level, wave height, marine heatwaves—contributing to better understanding of ocean dynamics and science-based environmental policy-making.
