Université du Littoral Côte d'Opale
Description
The approach developed for the first project was based on the observation of the surfaces reflecting the signals emitted by GPS radio navigation satellites. These signals are usually received by a bi-static radar system helping deduce some properties of the reflection surface, such as its height and humidity. These two parameters are essential for the study and monitoring of flood areas because they can monitor the rising of water and assess the water status (ability to absorb or to run off rainwater) observed surfaces . The challenge faced in this proposed project is the study and construction of a light simple instrument which can be carried by a drone. For this reason, the proposed instrument will be based on the principle of "Interference Pattern Technique" to measure the parameters observed.As far as the second project is concerned,each installation will be made from solar panels obtained from different technologies. These facilities will initially be autonomous from each other and connected to a particular building or parts of a different building. This structure should enable in a second moment their integration into a smart distribution electricity network, the "smart grid". For the third project, the energy generated from the water pumping will indeed be enhanced by two heat pumps and then transferred to the heating system of the building. In this framework, the University requested the GIS Campus of the Sea to conduct a study on the deployment of these renewable energies.The main objectives of the CIRCLE approach are: (1) identification of research needs, (2) development of scientific projects and (3) collaboration among researchers in charge of adaptation policies to climate change.The initiative started in 2013 and is still ongoing.
