Forestry, Natural Resource Management

Diversity, composition, structure and regeneration are all at-risk areas in forest management. It is in the interests of both the public and private sectors, ecologically and commercially, to be able to develop and deploy best practices. Analysis Ready Mosaics will also help identify patterns shaping the forests.

The health of our lakes, reservoirs and associated watersheds embodies complex behaviours that combine weather patterns, water networks, topography, and land composition. Our satellite data will help gain understanding of the interconnection and build resilience against the effects of both floods and droughts.

Specific types of vegetation, e.g., cattails, have the ability to effectively remove contaminants like phosphorus which can mitigate pollution and runoff that leads to lake eutrophication. With timed harvesting, the acquired ecological biomasses can be converted into clean energy and inputs.

As unprecedented biodiversity loss is worsening across the planet today, governments are creating policies and strategies to protect and restore diversity of life and natural habitats., from restoring wetlands to protecting habitats through frequent, broad-scale analysis.

Assessments such as air/land temperature, moisture content, and burn/ignition probability, available from our satellite imagery, will strengthen risk forecasts to protect public health and financial interests. Cloud-free data from our satellites will also help determine the precise extent of a wildfire.
