Applications for landscape monitoring
Spatial intelligence solutions can be used to characterise the landscape and quantifying land-cover and land-use types, for the purpose of resource inventories or detecting and monitoring landscape changes, as a result of development impacts and settlement growth.
This includes:
-
Visual impacts of wind turbines on landscape aesthetics
-
Environmental geo-intelligence for other renewable energy developments.
-
Greenfield, brownfield and end-of-life rehabilitation landscape inventories for mining activity
-
Project-induced migration impact, monitoring and quantification
-
Project baseline assessments (land cover, land use, habitat, vegetation)
-
Landscape analyses for security and logistical reconnaissance
Solutions can also be used for:
-
Infrastructure development impacts
-
Monitoring settlement expansion over time
-
Environmental Impact Assessments
-
Natural Capital Accounting inventories
-
Habitat reconnaissance surveys and detailed inventories
-
Carbon Offset projects (see CaronSphere360)
-
Conservation planning, etc.
