Providing geo-analytical insights through Earth observation

The Ecometrica Platform brings together Earth observation (EO) ‘big data’ and turns it into strategic, geo-analytical insights, offering a complete view of fast-changing environmental information, and rapid, critical decision-making tools on local, regional, national or supranational scales. The platform can combine EO data from various sources such as free optical data from Sentinel-2, Landsat and MODIS, high resolution optical data, or radar from Sentinel-1. The Economica Platform is an easy to use web interface that enables non-experts to easily interact with and rapidly analyse large, complex environmental datasets – from forest protection to disaster response, sustainability metrics to full global supply chain intelligence. The product is used by governments and donors globally to monitor impact such as identifying ecosystems at risk, tracking progress with roll out activities, monitoring outcomes of investments, policies and progress, prove compliance and sustainability of new ventures and analysing the spatial distribution of results. This may include measuring avoided forest loss or impact monitoring and environmental risk mapping across agriculture, forests, biodiversity and water.
