As a SkyTruth Intern, Matthew Ibarra learned new skills and helped protect Native lands.

As I finish up my internship at SkyTruth, I can honestly say that the experience has been everything I imagined it would be and more. My time here was a perfect amalgamation of what I love: namely, an organization that applies technology and gathers and analyzes data to protect the environment.

Oil pollution at sea, mountaintop mining, Conservation Vision and more on SkyTruth’s agenda.

SkyTruth followers know that we generated a lot of momentum in 2019, laying the groundwork for major impact in 2020. Here’s a quick list of some of our most important projects underway for the new year: stopping oil pollution at sea, protecting wildlife, identifying poorly reclaimed mine sites, characterizing harmful algal blooms from space, and revealing fossil fuel drilling on public lands.

Drilling Detection with Machine Learning Part 3: Making and mapping predictions

SkyTruth Technical Program Director Ry Covington, PhD explains challenges to generating meaningful predictions from the machine learning model, and outlines solutions.

This is the final post in a 3-part blog series describing SkyTruth’s effort to automate the detection of oil and gas well pads around the world using machine learning. We hope that this series – and the resources we’ve provided throughout – will help other developers and scientists working on conservation issues to learn from our experience and build their own exciting tools.
