Remote Sensing and Geospatial Analysis
Our remote sensing and geospatial analysis expertise includes:
- Remote data collection systems
- Object and pixel-based imagery classification and mapping
- Land cover mapping including crops, soils and surface characteristics
- Land cover assessments including yield predictions, vegetative and crop characteristics
- Geospatial statistics
- Geographic Information Systems (GIS)
- Web-based mapping products
- Relational database design
Within agriculture our scientists, remote sensing specialists, and statisticians have developed novel techniques to provide valuable information for real-time precision agriculture, market assessments, and resource management, including:
- Crop types
- Crop characteristics
- In-season production potential
- Bearing age
- Vigor
- Varietal differences
- Water stress
- Plant spacing/foliage density
- Temporal and spatial change
Within a broad range of landscapes our multi-disciplinary teams have applied remote sensing techniques and scientific knowledge and metrics across extensive landscapes to create detailed mapping and surveys that would otherwise be cost- and time-prohibitive. We have accurately mapped and interpreted surface characteristics including:
- Surface soils
- Wildfire burn intensities
- Irrigated vs. non irrigated land
- Impervious surfaces
- Vegetative cover types and extent
- Invasive species
- Forest and wetlands ecosystem classes
- Greenhouse gas sequestration potential
NewFields also employs geospatial analysis and GIS technology for spatial data management and analysis on nearly all projects. We offer a wide range of advanced GIS capabilities and resources to support complex data management functions, decision-making processes, project analyses, and communication of information in an impactful and graphical fashion with clients and agencies. NewFields’ highly skilled GIS analysts have extensive training and experience in GIS software analysis and programming, including application development, data management, GIS modeling, web mapping application development, and resource mapping and monitoring. Our customized web GIS applications bring the power of GIS analysis and data interpretation to our client’s fingertips and allow for real-time project data access as well as generation of client specified reports, maps, or other products.
