We spent a year building a system to precisely map vegetation fuels across #California—down to nearly each tree.
For decades the #forest mgmt, #wildfire, & emergency response communities were stuck using out-of-date and coarse maps.
That changes today: forestobservatory.com

Excited to partner with @upstream_tech to launch a new digital MRV solution for reforestation & other forest carbon projects
Lens for Carbon provides simple, turnkey MRV at a fraction the cost of traditional monitoring. Join us Thursday at 12pm PST bit.ly/3QmISCQ

Great to hear about this new conservation acquisition that will be largely open to the public!
Explore the landscape ahead of your trip using our forest mapping platform.

Fantastic!! Hooray The Wildlands Conservancy!!
Here's a look at tree heights in the property from @forestobs (interact with it and all the other layers like canopy cover and ladder fuel density here: tinyurl.com/yhlqxn8b)

Great overview from @Planet of how the @forestobs contributes to better wildfire resilience in CA. Salo takes it even further by simulating 100s of millions of fires to create the highest res & most up-to-date maps of fire hazard ever created.

Forests play a crucial role in removing atmospheric CO2. To reach the 1.5°C target of @cop26, we need better mapping, monitoring, & mgmt. of forests on a global scale. We’re building tech to meet the need—1st in CA w/ @forestobvs & bigger expansions to come.

At 322,000 acres and growing with no end in sight, the #DixieFire (red) has surpassed last year's #NorthComplex (orange)
The scale of these #wildfires is just enormous
(base layer is our 3-meter resolution tree height; darker green = taller trees) #CAfire #CAwx

The Moonlight Fire area has had a lot of salvage, and there is not much canopy cover across these areas, so if we got some clear air, we could potentially make a lot of hay with air tankers in this area. Canopy cover data from @forestobs forestobservatory.com/ #DixieFire

Hey everyone, we're way overdue for several @forestobs updates (including Earth Engine integration).
Until then, here's a map of canopy cover change, 2016-2020. Warm colors->loss, cool colors->gain .
The big blob is the Carr fire. Check out the harvest and regrowth patterns

To my fellow forest nerds:
First we built a forest monitoring system in the cloud.
Now we're sharing our guide to working with Forest Observatory data using cloud-based geospatial software.
Check it out!🌲🧡🌤️

"...development of a consolidated Federal geographic mapping service that can facilitate public access to climate-related information that will assist Federal, State, local, and Tribal governments in climate planning and resilience activities."
Sounds familiar.

Do you know where your #ChristmasTree came from? Here is a collection of tree farms on the west slope of Lassen Peak, all at different stages of growth when this tree height data was collected in 2020. #ForestFriday

Whisky Hill, the site of @SaloSciences latest field trip, is in the dramatic burn scar of the 2013 American Fire. The team spent two days in the surrounding area doing field validation on CFO data, filming for @BW and of course, drinking whisky (Old Forester)
