Biophysical M&E Dashboard
In support of USAID’s initiative to monitor and evaluate land cover change in Cambodia, Spatial Informatics Group and SERVIR SEA created an application powered by Google Earth Engine to allow the nation to track progress on various conservation projects.
Planning And Implementing Fuel Treatments To Reduce Fire Hazard And Restore Healthy Wildlands And Forest Communities
SIG co-developed software to remotely monitor gold mining activity in Colombia. Illegal mining is a driver of deforestation and this project aims to empower authorities to respond quickly and appropriately. CoMiMo, which is available for desktop in both English and Spanish, uses satellite imagery and artificial intelligence to identify threatened areas.
Greenline Climate
Greenline Climate is a joint venture of SIG Carbon that provides development services for forest carbon credit projects, in particular those that reduce emissions and mitigate the effects of climate change.
Fire Factor
As part of the Pyregence Consortium, Spatial Informatics Group partnered with the risk analysis firm First Street Foundation to create a property-level wildfire risk model for every property in the conterminous United States. The First Street Foundation Wildfire Model (FSF-WFM) is the first national, climate-adjusted, property-specific wildfire risk assessment in America. FSF-WFM informs Fire Factor, First Street Foundation’s fire risk data product.
Mekong Drought & Crop Watch
Working with SERVIR-SEA, SIG co-developed a tool in Google Earth Engine to monitor and respond to drought events in the Lower Mekong, as well as tools to plan and model agricultural decisions in the region. The freely accessible tool is open source and adaptable to different use cases, minimizing risk and cost during drought events.
Biophysical Monitoring and Evaluation Dashboard
In support of USAID’s initiative to monitor and evaluate land cover change in Cambodia, Spatial Informatics Group and SERVIR SEA created an application powered by Google Earth Engine to allow the nation to track progress on various conservation projects.
HYDRAFloods
As part of SERVIR-SEA and with the Asian Disaster Preparedness Center (ADPC), SIG developed HYDRAFloods, public access flood monitoring software that detects flood events in near real-time through the use of satellite data. Artificial intelligence tools within Google Earth Engine make the program even better at detecting surface water levels, speeding up the process to keep people safe.
TerraOnTrack
Spatial Informatics Group, with partners SERVIR-SEA and Imaflora and support from NASA and USAID, created an application that allows traditional and indigenous communities in Brazil to access a wealth of information about the territories they call home. From deforestation threats to illegal activity warnings, communities can use TerraOnTrack to monitor potential problems in near-real time, upload additional information, and make informed decisions about their land.
CoMiMo
SIG co-developed software to remotely monitor gold mining activity in Colombia. Illegal mining is a driver of deforestation and this project aims to empower authorities to respond quickly and appropriately. CoMiMo, which is available for desktop in both English and Spanish, uses satellite imagery and artificial intelligence to identify threatened areas.
se.plan
se.plan is a free online tool to identify places where the benefits of forest restoration are high relative to costs. A component of the open source software suite Open Foris and part of the SEPAL system, se.plan lets users generate maps and related information on the costs and benefits of restoration efforts on any particular site.
