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.
A new study published in the journal Nature offers an unprecedented view of previously unmapped industrial use of the ocean and how it is changing.
We’re excited to announce the release of a new study published today in the journal Nature offering an unprecedented view of previously unmapped industrial use of the ocean and how it is changing. The groundbreaking research — led by Global Fishing Watch and co-authored by SkyTruth’s geospatial engineer, Christian Thomas — used machine learning and satellite imagery…

SkyTruth announces the launch of Cerulean, a new technology platform to detect ocean polluters.
Recently at COP 28, we launched the beta version of Cerulean, SkyTruth’s long-awaited global monitoring system for ocean oil pollution and its possible sources. Cerulean is the first free, publicly available tool that maps and monitors ocean industrial pollution events and attributes them to specific actors using machine learning, cloud computing, and satellite imagery.

As the world continues to grapple with environmental challenges, tools like SkyTruth Alerts have become invaluable for those who are passionate about tracking and responding to environmental incidents.
In 2023, SkyTruth introduced changes that expand the platform’s capabilities and provide additional monitoring opportunities. In this blog post, we’ll explore three new incident types added to SkyTruth Alerts – California Hazardous Materials Spills, Texas Oil and Gas Drilling Permits, and U.K. Oil and Gas Spills at Sea.

SkyTruth is working to create the world’s first publicly accessible dataset of FSOs and FPSOs, to shed light on their behavior and monitor them for pollution events.
Over the last 19 months, SkyTruth has been working with investigative reporters from the Associated Press on a story that highlights the risks posed by aging vessels which are linked to offshore oil production.
Juanacatlán Falls, long a natural resource for residents, Mexicans, and tourists, now a dumping ground for industrial waste and a source of pain for many
The Santiago River, referred to in the regional language of Nahuatl as “Río Chignahuapan,” translated as “the power of the nine rivers,” was the backbone of a thriving indigenous community near Guadalajara, Mexico.
