Venezia vista da uno dei satelliti del programma italiano IRIDE

Can you spot the boat traffic?👀

Venice's story has always been written on water. In this IRIDE image, boat wakes criss-cross the Venetian Lagoon while shifting shades of blue reveal changing water conditions. Beyond the city, wetlands and salt marshes support wildlife.

False-colour satellite image of Venice and its lagoon. The city appears as a pink-orange island surrounded by turquoise waters marked by boat wakes, with nearby wetlands, channels and barrier islands visible across the lagoon.

[2/6] Dans la lagune de Venise, l’image IRIDE révèle une ville insérée dans un milieu amphibie : eaux peu profondes, îles, port et continent s’organisent autour du centre historique. Le pont ferroviaire traverse la lagune sur environ 3,8 km pour relier Venise à la terre ferme.

Narrow barrier islands separate the lagoon from the Adriatic Sea, with only a few inlets allowing water to flow between them. Satellite observations can track changes in water, sediment, vegetation, and coastlines over time, helping scientists study this complex environment.
