Happy Earth Day! 🌎

Our team at Planet transforms satellite data into critical metrics of forest health, carbon storage, and environmental change — a complex scientific challenge.

But I also like to think that we’re building an earth art machine. 🎨

I’m a firm believer that if we are faithful to representing the forests as they are — thinking ecologically about how we handle and render our data — then beautiful patterns will emerge.

Here are some visuals from our team, featuring both imagery and derived data products. I hope you enjoy them.
