[One or two sentences on what you did and what you learned.] I also saw your NSERC-funded project "Télédétection à très hautes résolutions et réseaux de neurones convolutifs pour la caractérisation de la faune et de la végétation" (2020), and I would be glad to contribute to work in that direction.
