1. Wildfires/Bushfires

A rise in global average temperatures is leading to a corresponding rise in the frequency and intensity of wildfires/bushfires.
Changes in rainfall patterns are affecting plant health, biomass and moisture content, making it easier for the fires to take hold and spread.
Changes in land cover/land use, deforestation and the loss of biodiversity are adding more uncertainty due to the use of outdated information and models in predicting and fighting these wildfires/bushfires.

Monitor small and large areas for vegetation, including vegetation health, moisture, and susceptibility to wildfires/bushfires.
During fire events, Eartheye Space has 10x more satellites than any singular provider, available to be tasked.
Data can be sourced and fused from multiple sensors, including Optical, Thermal, and Radar, to ensure the safety of fire crews and local communities, and to optimise the deployment of personnel.
Data can also be fused with wind speeds and direction to predict spread, determine the risk to local communities, and prioritise evacuation efforts.
After the fire events, monitor and report on fire scars and recovery.

Climate change is also affecting rainfall patterns, with each 1°C rise in temperatures resulting in a 7% increase in the moisture that the atmosphere can hold. This is already leading to more severe and frequent storm activity.
Cities are now finding it challenging to maintain public safety and critical infrastructure using old, outdated predictions and flood maps.

Generate land use/land cover, terrain, and flood maps to help risk assessment, insurance, and investment decisions, with recent studies indicating an 8x ROI on such mitigation activities.
As a flood event is unfolding, Eartheye Space has 10x more satellites than any singular provider, available to be tasked to deliver the data needed for the safe evacuation of local communities and to guide the deployment of emergency resources.

The cause of climate change lies in the greenhouse gases produced by the extraction and use of fossil fuels, and the production and disposal of food for a growing population.
While this is a complex, multifaceted issue, steps like minimising methane emissions will have a greater return, as methane has an 80x effect on global warming compared to CO₂.
Detection and quantification of sources are imperative to designing and implementing methane control and mitigation strategies.

Monitor large areas with the ability to automatically task a more detailed observation when a methane plume is detected.
This higher resolution observation can identify the point and diffuse sources, pair it with a contemporaneous optical image if needed, and model dispersal patterns based on the latest weather models.
Ensure compliance with your climate change obligations and manage the development of regulatory frameworks and monitoring regimes for industries including landfill/waste management, coal, and oil & gas mining processing and transport.

Meeting future challenges means building a resilient renewable energy infrastructure and a better urban built environment.
Ensuring community safety and well-being requires regular monitoring of many complex variables, from urban heat maps to land use change to ground subsidence.

Map and monitor large areas, with more frequent and detailed satellite images and information feeds that automatically analyze changes over time.
Get analysis-ready data using multiple sensor technologies for use in your existing GIS, pipelines, and workflows.
