Environmental and Climate Analysis

Environmental and climate questions are spatial: where water flows, which areas flood, where land is degrading. We combine terrain, satellite and climate data to map these patterns and the risks they carry.

Typical outputs include flood susceptibility, watershed, drought and land degradation maps for planning and risk reduction.

What the service involves

  • Environmental monitoring
  • Watershed analysis
  • Flood susceptibility
  • Drought assessment
  • Land degradation
  • Climate-related spatial analysis

How we deliver

  1. Understand the challenge. Agree the question, the area and the decision the work must support.
  2. Acquire and prepare data. Source, clean and document each dataset, including date, resolution and licence.
  3. Analyse and model. Apply a transparent method and check accuracy where reference data exists.
  4. Develop geospatial solutions. Build the maps, models, scripts or web applications the work requires.
  5. Deliver actionable insights. Hand over outputs and a plain-language summary of findings and limitations.
