From intensifying natural disasters and food insecurity, to public health crises and forced migration, we live at a time of unprecedented climate risks. Each of us is exposed to these risks in a different way, and we do not all bear them equally. Yet no matter which risks we face, one thing […]
We are excited to share the power of Planet satellite imagery with Amazon SageMaker’s geospatial capabilities. Our partnership has the potential to revolutionize agriculture and sustainability insights by combining geospatial data with machine learning and cloud architecture. In this blog, the application of a crop segmentation model on top of Planet high-frequency […]

The transition to a low-carbon, climate-positive future will require innovation in almost every sector of the global economy, from energy, transport and agriculture to cities, finance, and land use. Achieving this transition will require independent, timely assessment of climate emissions, to guide policy and ensure industries, governments and organizations are held accountable […]
The importance of resilient food supply chains is more evident than ever as seen with disruptions resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. Adding to this, the impact of climate change is becoming more apparent each season, with record warm droughts and flooding. Global events throw into relief the big question on everyone’s minds: […]
Recent innovations in agile aerospace have created unique offerings in high cadence satellite imagery. While this is of immense interest to imagery analysts, a significant portion of GIS professionals and geo-data scientists work less with raster data (AKA imagery) and more with point and vector data. Planet operates the world’s largest constellation […]
Planet, Salo Sciences, and Vibrant Planet are announcing a partnership to develop the California Forest Observatory (CFO)—a new platform that will dynamically map forest structure and fuel loads down to the tree level, statewide. Combining satellite imagery and artificial intelligence (AI), along with weather, climate, population, and infrastructure data, and supported through […]
Earth observation (EO), the monitoring of the Earth from space using satellites, has undergone fundamental changes in the last decade. We have seen the convergence of two exciting trends in remote sensing and processing algorithms that now herald a new era of space renaissance. The implementation of ambitious government initiatives such as […]
