How Earth Index works
Define what you’re looking for
Apply positive and negative labels to known locations, training AI to identify patterns and exclude irrelevant areas.
Find similar locations
Let AI analyze satellite imagery and find areas that match your criteria. Filter results, adjust search parameters, and explore predictions on the interactive map.
Iterate for precision
Review the results, add more labels, and watch AI improve. Keep refining until you get the exact insights you need, then export your findings.
#Waste water
#Roadbuilding
#Logging
Find anything
Processing satellite imagery and developing models requires expertise. Scanning imagery is tedious and slow. Earth Index streamlines the process — find anything, anywhere, in less than a day.
#Mining
#Waste sites
#Ecosystem disturbances
Key features
Cutting edge AI foundation models
Large Earth foundation models are trained to understand any feature on the planet. Earth Index applies and deploys these models in a working environment.

Search in seconds
Earth Index is an interactive application, with infrastructure designed to support rapid exploration over all regions of the Earth directly by users.
Multispectral, multisensor data
Earth Index uses all available bands of Sentinel-2 imagery, to pick up patterns beyond what's visible to the human eye.
Global coverage
Every region of the Earth has been indexed and made available for live search. Select a region of interest and find targets immediately.
Upcoming
Change detection
Monitor changes over time with notifications of any new features that match your search critera.
Upcoming
Train and deploy detection models in the cloud
Enhance the accuracy and scale of searches by fine tuning lightweight learnning models on top of results.
Why we built Earth Index
"One of the greatest challenges for conservationists has been detecting environmental harms before it’s too late.
Now Earth Index enables users to easily find and act on damaging activities, like illegal mining, in minutes not months."
