Planet Watch: raise public awareness about ecological issues
The 10 projects selected by the jury of Planet Watch by Enlaps,
have been monitoring glaciers around the world for over a year.
The story of Planet Watch
In 2021, on the occasion of COP26, Enlaps launched its initiative Planet Watch by Enlaps, a call for projects aimed at glaciologists worldwide in order to make the evolution of global warming visible. Indeed, in the field of research, timelapse is widely used for glaciers.
Planet Watch by Enlaps provides international glaciologists with ten of its Tikee cameras, as well as free access to its myTikee cloud platform.
The goal of this initiative is to create a collaborative and educational map, accessible to the entire scientific community, public decision-makers, and citizens around the world.
This call for projects aims to raise public awareness about ecological issues, support international initiatives, and provide scientists around the world with exclusive and useful data.
On October 31, 2021, the speech by Heidi Sevestre (glaciologist, Director of Communications at ICPP, Project Coordinator at AMAP) during COP26, launched the Planet Watch project call by Enlaps. Candidates had until January 15, 2022, to submit their applications online and propose projects that are carbon-neutral at most and beneficial to the international scientific community.
The jury, consisting of Antoine Auberton (CEO of Enlaps), Heidi Sevestre, Luc Moreau (glaciologist associated with the Edytem CNRS laboratory), Yann Arthus-Bertrand (President of the Good Planet Foundation), and Sophie Szopa (research director at the climate and environment laboratory, author of the IPCC Group 1 report), selected the ten projects based on their scientific interest, the emblematic dimension of the chosen location, while ensuring their technical feasibility.

The Jury
Researchers have free access to numerous resources, such as a standalone Tikee 3 PRO camera, connected via 4G to the SaaS cloud platform for editing, analyzing, and sharing myTikee, including scientific support and technical recommendations. The Tikee 3 PRO solution from Enlaps, self-sufficient in energy thanks to the integration of photovoltaic panels and sharing data remotely, facilitates research projects: today, Tikee technology from Enlaps studies and analyzes glaciers around the world: Santa Isabel in Colombia, Fellaria in Italy, Combe Maudite in France, Heinabergjokull in Iceland, and so on.
The members of the jury will pay particular attention to ensuring that the data is understood by all citizens and public decision-makers. Moreover, this data will serve as a source of information for scientists worldwide, requiring as much data as possible to refine their analyses and recommendations. This digital mapping aims to expand each year, to cover a significant part of the global cryosphere.
