Watch the AMA (Ask Me Anything) Session with Tara O’Shea: Senior Global Director of Forests & Land Use!

During our second AMA session, Tara O'Shea, the senior global director of Forests and Land use at Planet, discusses the applications of high-resolution imagery in forest and land use monitoring. She explains that Planet's data sets provide detailed information on changes in land cover and land use, allowing for better understanding of deforestation and its impacts. The higher resolution also enables the identification of canopy level details and better understanding of biomass and carbon storage potential. O'Shea also mentions the broadening user community and the increasing relevance of geospatial tools in sectors such as supply chain monitoring and insurance.She highlights the NICFI Satellite Data Program, a partnership between Planet and Norway's International Climate and Forest Initiative, which aims to reduce tropical forest loss. O'Shea shares examples of how Planet's data is used for environmental compliance requirements and expresses excitement about the future of geospatial pr

Agile EO Webinar Series: Sentinel Hub

In this month of Planet’s Agile EO Webinar Series - we covered Planet’s partnership with Sinergise, the makers of Sentinel Hub. Sentinel Hub is a world leading earth observation platform for analyzing satellite imagery. Sinergise has built an integration with Planet’s APIs, enabling users to work with Planet data products in Sentinel Hub.In this webinar we looked at EO Browser, the integration with Planet’s Subscriptions API, and a sample python workflow for analyzing daily PlanetScope scenes for an agriculture use-case. If you want to catch the recording or watch any previous Agile EO webinars, you can watch them here. In this post you will find the questions & answers from the webinar. If you want to see the Jupyter notebook that was used in the demonstration you can find it here.If you are interested to know more about how to get started with Planet + Sentinel Hub, you can reach out to your Planet account representative or contact us here!

UPDATE on Effect of Solar Flare

Proton levels associated with the M5.7 X-ray flare have decreased to a level where we are able to resume standard operations for the satellite fleet. Our high resolution imaging fleet has resumed imaging and we expect medium resolution imaging to resume within the next several hours. We will continue to monitor solar activity as the satellite fleet is brought back online.Check out Planet's Status Page for more information!

Solar Weather Ceasing Imaging Activities on SkySat & SuperDove Fleets

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has issued an alert for an M5.7 X-ray flare (see swpc.noaa.gov/news/r2-mod-hf-radio-blackout-and-s2-mod-solar-radiation-storm-17-july-2023 for details). This solar flare has resulted in radiation levels that have exceeded our operational thresholds for imaging operations across Planet's satellite fleets. Planet plans for events like this and we have implemented our safety procedures to ensure our satellite fleet is not impacted. During this time imaging will not be available. Like any space weather event, the length can be unpredictable so we will be posting updates to Planet's Status Page when available (at a minimum every 24hr) until this is resolved.

Feedabck for Tree Bloom Exercise

Hello - I have run through the exercise and wanted to give back some feedback. Overall, great tutorial - and I’m so glad to see instructions to using Planet imagery for more detailed analysis!A few thoughts: Is there a reason why step 3 under "Preparing Data for Analysis" utilises geojson.io, instead of the native ArcGIS Pro tools to create the polygon (especially because it is used later in the classification exercise step 1)? When a ArcGIS Pro Project is created, a File Geodatabase (.gdb) with the name of the Pro project is also created that could be used from the start without having to venture out to another program. Users could right click on the "Databases" in the Catalog pane and create a new layer - then draw using the edit tools. Users could use the Locate tool to find the same location to zoom in their map interface to draw. By doing this (starting by creating a feature class instead of shapefile in geojson.io) it would cut out step 10, requiring them to export into a featur
