Monitor

Monitor is a free, global platform built to make expert-level data accessible to all—helping users view satellite imagery, create maps, and tell stories.

Why

Environmental change is happening faster than ever, but access to clear information about the world around us remains scattered and hard to find. From pollution incidents in U.S. neighborhoods to illegal deforestation in the Amazon, the gap between environmental data and the people who need it limits the ability of communities and advocates to see clearly, act quickly, and hold polluters accountable. At SkyTruth, we believe advanced environmental information should be available to everyone.

Testimonials

Working with Brendan on the SkyTruth team was a pleasure for me and my students. SkyTruth learned our complex analytical approach to mapping Harmful Algal Blooms and helped us implement it in the cloud using Google Earth Engine and Python programming. And they provided our team at KSU with intensive hands-on training, so now we can expand our work with new sources of satellite data and apply our analysis anywhere in the world.

Kudos to SkyTruth for spotting [the natural gas pipeline fire off Mudhole Bay, LA]. You guys provide quite a reality check on things.

While many of our hard-won environmental protections are at risk right now, I'm glad to see the Gulf Monitoring Consortium (and, specifically, SkyTruth) helping our country take some steps forward in monitoring pollution.
