A dataset of three digital terrain model (DTM) derivatives was produced at 5 m spatial resolution across mainland France. This dataset includes (i) a topographic wetness index (TWI) that characterizes potential soil wetness as a function of the contributing area and local slope, (ii) a multi-scale topographic position color composite (MTPCC) that describes the position of a pixel relative to its neighborhood at three spatial scales, and (iii) a vertical distance to channel network index (VDCNI) that expresses the vertical height between the elevation of a pixel and the nearest channel. These three raster layers were derived from the French national airborne DTM at 5 m spatial resolution and the vector layer of the channel network of the national hydrological database. This unprecedented fine-scale dataset opens new insights for geomorphological analysis. It can be used for several purposes, such as environmental modeling, risk assessment, or water-resource management.

Assessing vines' vigour is essential for vineyard management and automatization of viticulture machines, including shaking adjustments of berry harvesters during grape harvest or leaf pruning applications. To address these problems, based on a standardized growth class assessment, labeled ground truth data of precisely located grapevines were predicted with specifically selected Machine Learning (ML) classifiers (Random Forest Classifier (RFC), Support Vector Machines (SVM)), utilizing multispectral UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) sensor data. The input features for ML model training comprise spectral, structural, and texture feature types generated from multispectral orthomosaics (spectral features), Digital Terrain and Surface Models (DTM/DSM- structural features), and Gray-Level Co-occurrence Matrix (GLCM) calculations (texture features).

The inherent challenges of robotic underwater exploration, such as hydrodynamic effects, the complexity of dynamic coupling, and the necessity for sensitive interaction with marine life, call for the adoption of soft robotic approaches in marine exploration. To address this, we present a novel prototype, ZodiAq, a soft underwater drone inspired by prokaryotic bacterial flagella. ZodiAq's unique dodecahedral structure, equipped with 12 flagella-like arms, ensures design redundancy and compliance, ideal for navigating complex underwater terrains.

Airborne transient electromagnetic (ATEM) surveys provide a fast, flexible approach for identifying conductive metal deposits across a variety of intricate terrains. Nonetheless, the secondary electromagnetic response signals captured by ATEM systems frequently suffer from numerous noise interferences, which impede effective data processing and interpretation. Traditional denoising methods often fall short in addressing these complex noise backgrounds, leading to less-than-optimal signal extraction.

The Daguangbao landslide (DGBL), triggered by the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake, is a rare instance of super-giant landslides globally. The post-earthquake evolution of the DGBL has garnered significant attention in recent years; however, its deformation patterns remain poorly characterized owing to the complex local topography. In this study, we present the first observations of the surface dynamics of DGBL by integrating satellite- and ground-based InSAR data complemented by kinematic interpretation using a LiDAR-derived Digital Surface Model (DSM).
