Climate Change: Satellite company to study changes on planet

The Chief Executive Officer and co-founder of Planet, a San Francisco-based satellite data company, Will Marshall, has said that the company hopes to use high-resolution satellite imaging to better understand how the planet is changing.

According to Marshall, climate change has continued to disrupt complicated earth systems in unprecedented ways, including the “absolute decimation of ecology on the planet”.

“We are seeing more climatic events of extreme weather, and that’s driving challenges around the world such as the collapsing of our coral systems and so on,” he said. “We have seen a 70% of fish in freshwater rivers and lakes, 82% of mammals — all of these numbers gone in the last 40 years”.

Marshall noted that despite this bleak outlook, there was a glimmer of hope and that what we are also seeing is that nature bounces back when given the chance.

“And so, if you protect an area of land, nature bounces quickly back. If you protect an area of the oceans, nature quickly bounces back,” he said.

He explained that the company founded in 2010 has been using its 200 satellites to help groups collect data on everything from forestry and agriculture to defence operations and developments in the Russia-Ukraine war.

He maintained that the company is also helping to launch a cluster of satellites that will pinpoint where CO2 and methane super polluters are.

Although humans’ impact on biodiversity is looking direr every year — especially from the view from space — Marshall argued that the solutions to climate change are straightforward.
