Environment : managing natural resources with satellite and aerial imagery

Observing the Earth to better manage natural resources
-

All over the world, the natural environment is under pressure from population growth and the quest for improved living standards.
Climate change, land degradation, environmental changes and natural disasters have been largely spotlighted by researchers and the media in recent decades.
The changing face of land and natural resource protection has stimulated innovative conservation approaches and strategies that are shaping new models while leveraging existing resources.

 
You need
-
  • Measuring farming impacts on soils and water resources
  • Mapping and managing forests, humid areas
  • Modelling impacts of new construction on biomass

 
We offer
-

 

Through its sustained R&D and involvement in major national and European programmes such as GMES, Spot Image has developed unique expertise in the use of remote-sensing data to analyse land cover and land use change, especially for environmental monitoring.

Ready-to-use products and services:

  • multisensor (optical and radar), multiresolution imagery for different levels of diagnosis,
  • on-demand vegetation patchwork at 10-metre resolution for a broad picture of land-cover patterns (using OverlandTM)

Integrated solution

  • on-demand land cover and land use map with specific number and themes of classes, resolution, to answer to your specific needs.

Key benefits
-

There is not a single approach to generate land cover & land use datasets and Spot Image remote-sensing experts emphasize on the spectral signature of the satellite image and the biophysical characterization that infers from it. The approach used is endorsed by the scientific community.
