When it comes to better understanding the impact of emissions from offshore oil and gas storage and production, there are several factors that must be accounted for.
On a hot Louisiana morning in 2021, the Diamond Gas Rose glided down a narrow channel between marshes and swamps toward one of the state’s newest liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminals.

I have long assumed that the carbon footprint associated with SkyTruth’s work is more than justified by the positive impacts that result from it. But recently I’ve been wondering, shouldn’t we be able to say what our carbon footprint is?
I’m the Sysadmin at SkyTruth, and I’m incredibly fortunate to get paid to continuously learn new things. Now I’m learning how we can measure SkyTruth’s carbon footprint.
Greece, Home of ‘Our Ocean Conference’ Which Started Yesterday, Had Highest Number of Slicks in Its Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ)
A new report released yesterday at the Our Ocean Conference in Greece by SkyTruth identified 757 oil slicks covering 1.9 million hectares in the Mediterranean Sea between July 2020 – January 2024. Most of these slicks were discharged from vessels in transit. The data comes from our platform, Cerulean, the first free, digital tool that uses AI and satellite imagery to track ocean oil pollution and its potential culprits.
Open-Source Tool from SkyTruth and Bloomberg Ocean Initiative Aims to Make Global “30×30” Conservation Goal More Accessible, Transparent, and Actionable
Today at the Our Ocean Conference a new digital platform was unveiled, making it easier for anyone to track progress on protecting the ocean’s biodiversity. The “30×30 Progress Tracker” is the first free, public, interactive platform designed for the general public to see how well the world is doing on enhancing ocean protection globally in line with the goal of protecting 30% of the ocean by 2030 (“30×30”).

SkyTruth is making large strides in understanding the ecological history of mountaintop mining. In the year to come, we plan to dive even deeper.
We have continued to expand our mining program area to better understand the complex legacy coal plays in Appalachia, and are setting up for a year of even more robust analysis to come. As long as mining mars the rivers and forests of Appalachia, we will continue to monitor it and work to create data that allows communities, regulators, and researchers to hold mine operators accountable for their recovery obligations.

Intern Rachel Pierce reports on her work at SkyTruth.
I first heard of SkyTruth at least a decade ago. I was amazed! Like the Eye of Sauron (but for doing good), they monitored polluters and assessed biodiversity. All right around the corner from my classes in that tiny place called Shepherdstown. I just knew: one day I had to get in.
