With the combination of efficient access to imagery, ATLIS's imagery supports environmental efforts around Canada. ATLIS`s aerial imagery is employed for emergency planning, damage assessment, relief coordination and recovery management.
Remote sensing for plant health
Farmers, forestry organizations and environmental regulators are using ATLIS`s aerial imagery and remote sensing capabilities, along with geospatial information to analyze, assess and manage the health and growth states of plant materials. Our high-resolution imagery solutions provide organizations with very detailed information about what is happening on the ground, across a wide geographical region. Whether they need to identify the health of old growth forests, monitor the encroachment of invasive species, track the state of logging activities, or identify crops affected by disease or drought, our satellite imagery enables better management of resources and faster decision making.
Forest fire risk management
Many factors impact the extent and severity of forest fires, including the growing trend of urban encroachment into natural areas, previous fire suppression policies and the impacts of disease, drought and other environmental factors. With a combination of high-resolution color and near infrared multispectral imagery, government agencies can evaluate the health of forests and accurately map buildings, roads, waterways and other structures to create risk profiles for large regions. In addition, our rapid response capabilities allow imagery to be used extensively to support firefighting efforts.
Water resource management
River basins, aquifers and other water sources are often shared resources between countries, states, provinces or local municipalities. ATLIS’s imagery solutions play a key role in the collaborative planning and governance of water resources with a bird’s eye pictorial view. In times of highly regulated environments, our high-resolution images ensure planning strategies and development are in alignment with social, economic, environmental and technological goals – well informed organizations make for good neighbours.
Supporting conservation efforts
With ATLIS`s imagery, conservation groups li are able to make effective conservation decisions based on a better understanding of the ecosystem in critical and protected areas throughout Canada. Aerial survey photography, remote sensing and GIS are combined to effectively map ecological patterns, monitor the human encroachment of protected wildlife parks, monitor the health and geographic range of wildlife populations and measure and track changes over time.
