Additionally we can provide consulting services to the forestry sector through our partners, which include foresters, agronomists, environmentalists and natural resource managers.

SST is able to map forest health through the use of the SpecTerra DMSI imaging sensor. This sensor has been widely used in the forestry sector in Australia, and therefore has a strong track record. Data from this sensor has been supplied to some of Australia's biggest forestry companies.

SST is currently in the process of developing new, cost-effective technologies for accurate biomass volume estimation. These technologies will enable forest managers to accurately measure the total volume of biomass, thus helping to determine accurate yield estimates.

Finally, SST can offer a "Rapid Response Mapping" service, where forest imagery (or any other imagery for that matter) can be acquired extremely rapidly, usually within 24 hours of the request for data. This data can be used for applications such as post-fire assessment (see our fire scar images here).

Further details of how SST can assist the forestry industry can be found in our Forestry technical document.
