SkyTruth is developing tools to help land managers measure the impact of restoration activities from space.
SkyTruth just wrapped up the first year of a project to map vegetation trends along the Colorado River, so it seems like a good time to share some of the exciting progress we’ve made so far.

Cameron believes the democratization of data can improve people’s lives and help protect the planet. At SkyTruth, he’s advancing projects to do just that.
When Cameron discovered the SkyTruth remote internship on a “tech for good” job board, he realized that Skytruth was a perfect fit.

Our tech partner AWS has released a new video that explains how SkyTruth’s Cerulean is changing the game in tracking illegal oil pollution at sea.
With this brief video AWS is helping us share our work with the world and seek out those who can advance our goals — either by helping us develop the technology or by holding polluters accountable. Check it out and let us know what you think.
By understanding the many stages of oil and gas drilling, skytruthers can detect new activity on their own using imagery on SkyTruth Alerts.
SkyTruth is working to automate the detection of drilling sites around the world using machine learning. In the meantime, intern Dylan Thomson explains what skytruthers who care about drilling in their communities should look for when using satellite imagery on SkyTruth Alerts.

SkyTruth Alerts Adds High-Resolution Planet Images to Our Monitoring Toolbox
The Norwegian Ministry of Climate and Environment is providing free access to Planet’s high-resolution commercial satellite imagery for monitoring the world’s tropical forests. Imagery is now available free to the public on several platforms, including our own SkyTruth Alerts.
SkyTruth powered through the many challenges of 2020 and emerged with new skills and tools to protect the Amazon, the oceans, and more.
In early 2019 SkyTruth announced Conservation Vision, our initiative to use machine learning to automate the analysis of the ever-growing archives of satellite imagery. These days it encompasses most, if not all, of our data science team’s work. At year’s end, SkyTruth Technical Program Director shares more about these tools and their potential impacts — along with a few other exciting developments from 2020. Please consider a donation to help us continue this work in 2021.
