Platform

From signal to insight.

A chat and map. You draw an area, AID runs the analysis, and you get layers, statistics, and a report.

Orbital coverage
Orbital paths over Earth

How it works

Area

Draw an area on the map, or upload one.

Ask

Request an analysis in chat, in plain language.

Compute

Earth Engine for the listed analyses. SpaceHPC for InSAR and time series.

Report

Map layers, statistics, and a markdown technical report.

Earth Engine

Urban heat island

Landsat surface temperature for a drawn area, from 2015.

Land use and land cover

A land-cover map from Sentinel-2 and Dynamic World.

Land-cover change

Bi-temporal change between two periods, from Sentinel-2.

Biomass and carbon

ESA CCI aboveground biomass, with carbon and CO2 equivalent. Annual maps through 2022.

Carbon sequestration

An annual sequestration estimate from Sentinel-2.

Air pollution

Sentinel-5P CO, NO2, CH4, and aerosols. This is atmospheric, not water pollution.

REDD+ screening

Hansen forest change and ESA CCI biomass: deforestation, carbon stock, and a preliminary credit sketch. Not a registry filing.

Radar backscatter

Sentinel-1 vegetation seasonality across three periods.

SpaceHPC

InSAR

Sentinel-1 ground deformation, run on SpaceHPC.

Sentinel-1 time series

Vertical and east motion over many dates. A time-series job takes days.

Built on supercomputing infrastructure

Aisle of a dark supercomputer hall

Google Earth Engine

The eight optical and radar analyses in AID.

SpaceHPC

InSAR and Sentinel-1 time series.

Session report

A markdown report that summarizes the analyses already run in the session. It does not start a new analysis.
