Monitoring Nature from Above: From Drones to Satellites

​Join us for an eye-opening exploration of how overhead monitoring technologies are revolutionizing our ability to understand and protect nature at scale. Dr. Greta Carrete Vega, Lead Ecologist , and Luc Bettaieb (co-founder and CTO) at Versant.earth, will guide us through the world of aerial and satellite technologies that are transforming environmental monitoring.

​Through this exploration, we'll discover:

• ​How different overhead technologies - from drones to satellites - work together to monitor ecosystems

• ​Real examples of these technologies detecting environmental change across vast landscapes

• ​The evolution from traditional mapping to today's sophisticated monitoring capabilities

• ​Practical insights on when to use different overhead monitoring approaches

• ​A glimpse into emerging trends and future possibilities

​Format:

• ​Welcome & Introduction (5 mins)

• ​Fireside Chat with Dr. Carrete Vega (25 mins)

• ​Interactive Q&A (15 mins)

• ​Small Group Discussion (10 mins)

​This session is ideal for:

• ​Land managers seeking efficient ways to track ecosystem health
  Sustainability teams needing to understand how to monitor environmental impacts across large areas

• ​Conservation practitioners looking to enhance their monitoring capabilities

• ​Project developers working on landscape-level initiatives

• ​Anyone interested in how space technology is advancing restoration
