NCX's Basemap technology is our high-resolution forest map that powers our platform and estimates the size and species of timber on every acre of forest. We use Basemap as the foundation of the assessments we conduct for landowners who are interested in participating in the programs on the platform.
When deploying our Basemap technology to conduct landowner assessments we reference:
- NLCD dataset
- Satellite imagery from Landsat 8 and Sentinel 2
- FIA plot data
- Ground truthing measurements we collect
Our remote assessments have allowed us to scale our offerings significantly, democratizing access to natural capital programs for landowners across the contiguous US.
