As the planet’s challenges intensify, human innovation rises to meet them. However, unlocking timely and actionable insights from the vast volumes of Earth observation data demands more than traditional GIS platforms, which often face limitations […]
Every minute, satellites orbiting Earth collect an extraordinary stream of information, more than 100 petabytes of Earth science data to date. These orbiting observers track everything from raging wildfires and shifting climate patterns to agricultural […]
Wildfires across North America are no longer confined to a single season. Each year, they burn longer, spread faster, and shatter new records. Satellites have helped scientists track their movement and map the destruction in […]
Reaching net-zero emissions means that Canada’s economy either produces no greenhouse gases or offsets any emissions through actions such as planting trees or using carbon capture technologies. Achieving net-zero is essential to ensure a safe […]
“The rate of temperature warming in Canada exceeds the global average.” Canada’s summer of 2025 not only broke temperature records but also reshaped the landscape of climate extremes in Canada. From the blazing forest fires […]
Is wildfire spread random? It looks like that, but it isn’t. In fact, it follows the invisible geometry of landscapes: slopes, vegetation density, and wind corridors. Managing these patterns is a spatial problem. A recent […]
From the GPS in your phone to the navigation systems guiding aircraft and ships, our modern world depends on knowing exactly where “north” is. But here’s the twist — there isn’t just one north. There […]
“Today we’re launching a new AI model, AlphaEarth Foundations, to help understand our planet in magnificent detail,” Google announced. In recent years, monitoring Earth’s landscapes has become increasingly crucial for tackling global issues like food security, […]
