Environmental Studies

Geospatial insight for understanding natural habitats, evaluating biodiversity and ecosystem health, and guiding sustainable environmental management.

[
OVERVIEW
]

Overview

Environmental studies combine geospatial data, field surveys, and analytical modelling to understand, protect, and manage ecosystems and landscapes. We provide the baseline and monitoring data needed to support conservation, restoration, and sustainable development.

Using tools like photogrammetry, LiDAR, and multispectral imaging, we capture high-resolution environmental data across large and often inaccessible areas.
Where needed, we apply AI and deep learning techniques to identify key features — such as saplings, vegetation health, and land cover — and represent them within GIS platforms.

Whether you're assessing mangrove health, mapping sensitive habitats, modelling flood risk, or tracking ecological change, we deliver accurate, actionable data to support informed, science-based decisions — from fragile wetlands to arid rangelands.

Habitat and Ecosystem Mapping

Identify, classify, and map vegetation types and ecological zones for conservation and planning.

Flood Risk and Watershed Studies

Model surface water flow and flood risk to support mitigation and infrastructure design.

Erosion and Land Degradation

Assess terrain changes and soil stability over time to guide land management.

Impact Assessments

Quantify potential effects of development projects on ecosystems and natural resources.

Rehabilitation and Conservation Projects

Monitor ecosystem recovery and evaluate restoration outcomes over time.
