Trends.Earth

Climate

Trends.Earth is an online platform that monitors "land degradation" — the reduction or loss of the biological or economic productivity of land. Using Earth observation satellite imagery and global data, Trends.Earth can identify degraded areas and help decision-makers improve them. Piloted in four African countries, the tool can now be used anywhere in the world.

Trends.Earth uses cloud computing to process massive Earth observation satellite images into usable information, assessing land trends through three indicators: land productivity, land cover and soil carbon.
