Project Partners: CNT, Tunisia
Since its establishment in 1988, CNT has acquired skills in remote sensing and GIS technologies and applications for the management and planning of renewable natural resources.
Other projects include Coastal Protection, AVICENNE II: Development of a methodology based on NOAA satellite observations with a view to monitoring and controlling water resources in the Mediterranean basin. CNT operates a NOAA reception station since August 1995. Simulation of airborne space technologies for the evaluation, analysis and monitoring of marine ecosystems in the southern Mediterranean (AMED), a Coastal monitoring system to monitor fragile environments, ensuring a balance between development and protection, and SMART: Sustainable Management of Scarce resources in the Costal Zone under the INCO-MED programme. Team members:
Mrs Thouraya SAHLI - Engineer, Soil and water specialist: After majoring in rural engineering from the INAT (Institut National Agronomique de Tunis) in 1992, Mrs. Sahli furthered her skills at the ENGREF-CEMAGRAF laboratory, Montpellier France where she earned a master degree in remote sensing. She also holds a specialized degree in image processing from the Centre National des Etudes Spatiales(CNES) France. Since joining the CNTD in 1993, she has participated in the execution of several research projects based on remote sensing applications to agriculture and water resource management. She was lately appointed at the head of the training division. Mr Elyess Berrahal - Engineer, GIS and remote sensing specialist: Holds a master degree in electronic engineering from the Military Academy of Tunis (1994). He obtained a professional master degree in remote sensing applied to natural resources evaluation from the Instituto Agronomico per l'Oltremare - Florence Italy. He lately earned a specialized diploma in geomatics from the Canadian University in Laval. He is currently in charge of the implementation of the in-house national database project "Spatio 2000".
