Officials in Greece have found themselves in a fishy situation this week, as more than 100 tons of dead fish have been removed from the waters around the port of Volos. This mass fish die-off - believed to be linked to climate change - can be seen in Planet's satellite imagery filling the normally scenic blue waters. 1) Xiria River mouth in Volos, Greece taken August 24, 2024. 2) Xiria River mouth in Volos, Greece taken August 28, 2024, showing mass fish die-off in river.

Davide Bertolo, Chief Geologist of the Aosta Valley region, shared how Planet data is being used by Regione Autonoma Valle d'Aosta to analyze triggers and mitigate the risks of landslides in the Italian Alps.

The Alps of northern Italy, particularly the Aosta Valley region, are susceptible to landslides which have been known to cause flooding and destruction in the region. To mitigate these risks, Regione Autonoma Valle d'Aosta, the Italian regional government, has leveraged Planet’s satellite data to build an early warning system aimed at effectively identifying landslide triggers, managing riverbeds, and preventing floods.

Proud to share the journey of the past two years working alongside incredible partners like Universidad de Los Andes , Instituto de Investigación de Recursos Biológicos Alexander von Humboldt, Instituto SINCHI, and Planet to tackle the critical challenge of preserving biodiversity in the Amazon. 🌎 From detecting and mapping deforestation to assessing biodiversity health through camera traps and acoustic data, AI has proven to be an invaluable tool for empowering researchers and organizations on the ground. If we can't measure it, we can't protect it. Let's continue leveraging technology to safeguard our planet's most vital ecosystems. #Biodiversity #AIForGood #Conservation #Amazon
At current rates of deforestation, we stand to lose nearly half of the Amazon rainforest by 2050, devastating the diverse species that call it home. However, #AI is providing researchers with new opportunities to shift momentum in this fight. Data that would have previously taken months to analyze can now be processed in minutes. Learn how Project Guacamaya is giving us new eyes and ears in the forest to help protect, restore, and regenerate this critical habitat. https://lnkd.in/eDQ-9fQ6 Microsoft

Last year we lost our dear and beloved colleague Brian Eshnaur, whose passion for space was only surpassed by his love for his family and friends. Our launch last week included a new flock of SuperDoves to join our constellation in orbit, and we named them in honor of Brian’s life and contributions to Planet. Welcome to the stars, Flock 4BE, and thank you for everything Brian. Ad astra per aspera.

This August, we are celebrating the one year anniversary of our acquisition of Sinergise and the Sentinel Hub platform. For the last year, we’ve written a new chapter in our Earth observation journey – gathered advanced insights, built platform solutions, and engaged with our community in novel ways. We are so grateful for this network of partners and users, and are officially moving the Sentinel Hub social community to Planet's social platforms. Join us here to keep up-to-date on all things Earth data and learn about the Planet Insights Platform.
