After a wildfire, a storm, windthrow or a pest outbreak, understanding what happened to a forest today means costly, slow ground surveys — or one-off satellite studies that stay confined to research.
RadarTree turns satellite data into a continuous service: it observes forest cover through the multispectral imagery of the European Copernicus programme, analyses it with artificial intelligence models and returns maps and indicators that make sense even to people who do not work in remote sensing.
What it will do
- Detect changes in forest cover: windthrow, wildfires, logging, pest damage
- Quantify the affected areas and track their evolution season after season
- Integrate forest cartography and field surveys as enrichment layers
- Produce maps and reports for planning, prevention and accountability
- Work on any area of interest: just define its perimeter
- Results via web interface and API, no specialist skills required
Why from above
Copernicus satellites revisit the same areas every few days. RadarTree uses that continuity to turn forest monitoring from reactive into preventive: not an occasional snapshot, but a time series showing where the forest was, where it is gone and where it is coming back.
Who it is for
- Forestry authorities and regional administrations: quantify damage, plan restoration and prevention, report
- Forestry consortia, commons and forest owners: decide where to act with logging and replanting
- Insurance companies: objective, frequent data for forest damage assessment
- Mountain municipalities and local bodies: steer policies and investments with data at hand
In development.
RadarTree is taking shape. If you manage forest assets, insure woodland or administer a territory, tell us about your case: early expressions of interest steer the development.
