SUMMARY: Environment monitoring is crucial for understanding the relationship between climate change and changes in large scale earth structures such as glaciers and forests. For these big structures, monitoring temporal evolution or assessing resilience and adaptation of earth to changes requires the analysis of time series composed of images.

When considering remote sensing imagery, analyzing such time series is actually facing dimensionality: observations are huge data both in time and space domains; in addition with intricacy when using coherent acquisition waves (radar imaging for instance). The challenge of remote sensing information science is then developing tools for handling dimensionality of data. The scientific objective of the PHOENIX project is to provide non-stationary multidimensional models for easing information mining and retrieval in long sequences of multisource/distributed image time series issued from recent constellations of satellites. These models will be used to characterize the evolution of earth structures such as glaciers and forests.
