Ecosystem Analysis

Satellite imagery is now being used in many different ways to characterize ecosystems and how they change over time. Here are some examples:

Wetlands Characterization

Identify wetlands in an area under pressure of development using subpixel detection of indicator species.

Deforestation Studies

Identify changed areas and then characterize the change using subpixel analysis to identify recent clear-cut areas.

Urban Land Management

Provide urban decision-makers with the information and tools needed to manage growth and provide people with a healthy and pleasing environment to live in.
