CORE BUSINESS
LIST-ENVIRONMENT is capitalizing on a blend of remote sensing data obtained from
space- and air-borne platforms for producing information on the status of natural resources for public and private stakeholders. It relies on competences in remote sensing and environmental sciences to improve the capacity to monitor variations of Earth’s biotic and abiotic resources at unprecedented temporal and spatial resolution. Moreover, it aims to integrate remote sensing data with in situ measured data, land surface models and leverages on satellite communication and IoT LPWAN technology in order to provide evidence-based decision support in near real time in a variety of thematic domains (i.e. disaster risk reduction, precision agriculture, viticulture and forestry, finance & insurance, preservation and management of natural resources, marine & maritime).
