Environmental Mapping

The Environmental Mapping Team transforms geospatial data into valuable insights for decision-making. Our approach is highly collaborative and focused on addressing client needs. We work closely with national stakeholders, international organizations, environmental NGOs, and ESG focused corporations to drive impactful solutions addressing complex environmental challenges.

Using innovative technology and cloud computing, our environmental mapping team backstops local science with global networks to monitor greenhouse gas emissions and removals, providing clear, comprehensible data to help reduce uncertainty surrounding emission estimates and understand forest change area.

With artificial intelligence technology, we can decipher complex environmental systems and reduce environmental impacts. We leverage Vertex AI, Google Earth Engine, and other Google Cloud platform tools to emerge on the forefront of AI use in geospatial workflows for analyzing and predicting environmental factors and developing decision support tools to help progress toward sustainability.

To analyze the effectiveness of existing environmental initiatives and identify the need for new ones, we must understand the changes occurring to environmental features such as forest cover and wildlife composition. Our environmental mapping team provides baseline information about natural conditions that can be translated into effective policies and practices, and implements systems for ongoing monitoring of the efficacy of sustainable management actions.

Swift responses to forest disturbances including deforestation, wildfires, and illegal mining are crucial in the effort to protect our planet’s forests. By monitoring forests through remote sensing technology and data analysis, SIG’s environmental mapping team ensures that stakeholders are kept aware of forest activities and have the crucial information they need to take action.

SIG’s environmental mapping team partners with leading environmental organizations, institutions, and initiatives across the world to develop innovative solutions to environmental issues and secure desired results. Our environmental mapping team’s web of collaborators is as diverse as our client’s needs: from mapping crops with Google Earth Engine, to co-creating geospatial data with SERVIR Amazonia, to building capacity for clients worldwide.
