How our ecological surveys work

Gentian delivers rapid, remote ecological surveys leveraging sub-50 cm satellite imagery and proprietary AI. We classify ecosystems and quantify ecological shifts—eliminating the bottlenecks of seasonal fieldwork.

We engineer proprietary AI models to classify a vast spectrum of land cover and habitat indicators. This ensures precise ecology data across complex urban, utility, and natural landscapes.

Whether performing due diligence, monitoring global portfolios, or accelerating ESG and TNFD goals, our ecology surveys deliver scalable precision to empower resilient decision-making.

What is an ecological survey?

How do ecological surveys work?

Ecological surveying assesses the habitats and species present on a site to support due diligence, risk mitigation, and strategic land management. The process begins with a desktop study, leveraging aerial data to establish context. Ecologists then visit sites to map habitats, assess habitat condition, and identify any protected species. Findings are synthesized into actionable data—featuring maps, metrics, and strategies for mitigation or climate resilience.

FAQs

Have questions? We deliver answers. Explore the most common inquiries regarding Gentian’s products and services.

How are Gentian’s surveys different from traditional ecological surveys?

We leverage satellite imagery and proprietary AI to conduct assessments remotely. Delivering actionable data faster, slashing overheads, and enabling continuous monitoring year-round.

Can Gentian assess sites internationally?

Absolutely. Our platform is engineered for global scale. We deploy precise ecological data across North America, Europe, and Asia.

How accurate are Gentian's ecological surveys?

Gentian leverages sub-50 cm imagery and proprietary ground-truth datasets to engineer precise nature-related data. Our data undergoes rigorous verification by experts—delivering the decision-grade, actionable insights required for risk modeling and compliance.

Can you survey species?

No, while we do not track individual fauna, our precision ecosystem modeling optimizes field operations—pinpointing exactly where targeted ground-truthing is required.

Why do you focus on surveying vegetation?

By analyzing plant communities and ecosystem types, we quantify ecological value and resilience at scale. While remote sensing precisely detects vegetation trends, species-level granularity requires ground-truthing. We optimize this workflow—targeting field resources rather than replacing them.
