GIS & REMOTE SENSING

What is GIS?

Geographic Information Systems are powerful tools that allow for the collection, storage, management, analysis, and presentation of geographic data.

What is RS?

Remote Sensing is a technology for acquiring information about the Earth’s surface from a distance, typically via satellites or aircraft, without direct contact.

“When combined, GIS and RS form an indispensable toolkit, providing a comprehensive understanding of ecosystems.”

Role of GIS & RS at CTNC

GIS and RS are the backbone of our research. We apply these technologies to:

Current Status & Planning Maps
Create detailed maps of current forest status.

Detecting Forest Change
Promptly detect hotspots of forest loss and degradation.

Calculate Carbon Stock
Estimate carbon stored in forests for emission reduction.

Surface Temperature
Assess land surface temperature for climate research.

Assess Soil Erosion
Identify risk areas to propose protection solutions.

Professional Training
