Geospatial analysis

Assess carbon projects, inside and outside the project area, before, during and after project activities.

Applied geospatial analysis

Using carbon maps informed by spaceborne and airborne LiDAR, radar and multispectral imagery.

Validating maps in context with the most geographically extensive ground truth database for forest carbon.

Building targeted machine learning models to track ecosystem change, project effectiveness, and natural hazards in near real-time.
