One platform, from orbit to underground.

Satellite archives, national registries and ground-station networks, fused in one governed warehouse and read as one decision. The platform is designed to add drone-fleet telemetry and survey-sensor data from certified operators and customers' own fleets.

How it works

Sources, fusion, AI, delivery.

Four steps, each with a plain status. Nothing below is described as live unless it is running today.

01 · Sources

Multi-source by design

What the platform reads, each source documented with its licence and date.

  • Orbit: INPE fire detections, from every satellite INPE reports
  • Orbit: Copernicus Sentinel-2 L2A scenes, rendered for this site; imagery layers in the products are on the roadmap
  • Air: fleet telemetry and survey sensors from certified operators and your own fleets (in design)
  • Ground: INMET, ANA and Rio Grande do Sul civil-defence stations
  • Registries: ANM, INGEMMET, MINEM, IBGE, FEMA, BLM, Florida DOR

02 · Fusion

One governed warehouse

Every layer shares one geospatial key: the municipality, the claim, the census tract, the parcel.

  • Raw, cleaned and product layers kept apart
  • Every source documented with its licence and as-of date
  • Per-country schema

03 · AI

Validated models only

Models are trained in BigQuery ML and called AI only once tested on data they never saw.

  • Brazil: revenue probability, ranked within substance class
  • Rio Grande do Sul: per-station thresholds and a 24-hour alarm model
  • Peru: prospectivity with calibrated uncertainty (in build)

04 · Delivery

Consoles and lookups

Answers reach people where they decide.

  • Command centres behind sign-in
  • Address lookup for US flood risk
  • Per-station alarm thresholds in the Rio Grande do Sul command centre, behind sign-in

Observed and modelled

Satellites and drones see the surface. The subsurface is modelled.

  • Orbit · observed. Fire detections from every satellite INPE reports, read daily.live
  • Orbit · imagery. Multispectral composites that separate rock, water, vegetation and burn scars at the surface: Sentinel-2 scenes rendered for this site. Imagery layers in the products are on the roadmap.rendered · roadmap
  • Air · partner-delivered. Magnetometry, LiDAR, multispectral and hyperspectral surveys with MAVLink telemetry, designed to be flown by certified operators or your own fleet: automated flight with a pilot in command.in design
  • Ground · measured. Station networks, registers and census tables, each with its source and date.live
  • Subsurface · modelled. Geophysics, drilling and geochemistry fused into ranked targets with calibrated uncertainty, never read from the air.in build · Peru

Cloud-native

Built on Google Cloud, behind sign-in.

The warehouse, the models and the command centres run on Google Cloud. Each country has its own schema. Consoles sit behind sign-in, and a private layer for a customer's own drilling and assays is in build.

In Brazil, airborne survey is designed to follow the Ministry of Defence aerial-survey rules, with raw survey data kept in the country.

Data governance

Real data, with its provenance.

Three rules decide what reaches a product, a figure or an image on this site.

Real data only

Traceable to a source.

Products, models and figures use source-traceable data only. A number that cannot be cited, with its source and as-of date, is not published.

Provenance

Source, licence, date.

Every source is documented: where it came from, under which licence and as of when. The Brazilian mining register and the Peru layers carry it on every row. Every image carries its scene date and its Copernicus credit; maps are drawn from public-domain boundaries.

Personal-data protection

Assets, never people.

Natural persons are never named or counted: register holders are vetted to legal entities. Monitoring covers critical infrastructure, assets and territory only: never people, faces, vehicles or plates, and never indigenous territories.
