WILDFIRE PREVENTION
FireWatch creates maps of vegetative fuel and defensible space for community leaders and fire departments.
Dangerous, high-risk areas are identified for community wildfire prevention and preparedness.
ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING
Many parts of the world are experiencing rapid changes in climate, environmental impacts, and population dynamics.
Traditional efforts to track and understand complex ecosystems are inadequate in addressing the impact of these changes.
URBAN FORESTRY

Aerial monitoring can help meet the challenges and demands posed by human and natural system changes.
LAND MANAGEMENT
Remote sensing with multispectral sensors offers significant benefits for land management and conservation efforts.
Remote sensing has no physical impact on a managed preserve yet provides invaluable documentation.
CHANGE DETECTION
Tracking and monitoring dynamic surface features with remote sensing is referred to as image-based change detection.
