Forest Disturbance
Respond Rapidly to Storm Damage and Health issues
Costly Threats to Your Forest Assets
Storm or health damage drastically reduce recoverable timber yield, increasing operational costs and decreasing revenue potential. Quick responses are critical to prevent the economic impact from escalating, especially in forests with significant growth inventories.
Immediate, Accurate Assessment and Response
Rezatec’s Forest Disturbance solution uses satellite data and AI-driven analytics to remotely assess storm occurrences and pest and disease outbreaks and measure the impact of timber deterioration. This helps prioritise ground teams to the worst affected areas and treat or recover the most valuable timber.
Prioritize your teams to address storm damage
Our algorithms correlate a sequence of satellite-derived data to monitor forest changes and identify significant negative changes in canopy cover associated with felling, illegal logging, forest fire, pest, disease and storm damage. The dashboard presents metrics and visualizes drill-down maps, which are vital to prioritizing, planning and optimizing your response.
Accelerate your response to pest and disease
Our algorithms correlate area-wide satellite data and environmental data layers across multiple dates to monitor changes to the inventory over time. Advanced analytics identify changes to the condition of the canopy that are indicative of potential stress or disease and identify change from an established ‘normal’ condition to determine the area affected and the severity, vital to prioritizing, planning and optimizing your response.
Optimise your harvest and mill operations
Our algorithms correlate a sequence of satellite-derived data to monitor crop changes and identify significant negative changes in canopy cover associated with harvesting. Using environmental data and your existing plot information to produce species distribution maps and metrics on harvest potential and optimal transport routes.

Satellite-based insights
Using multispectral data from satellites, Rezatec’s model identifies spectral indices of forested and vegetated areas on the ground. The archived satellite data ensures Rezatec’s models can incorporate historical datasets and use data science to identify trends and seasonal patterns in the data and any significant negative changes in the state of the canopy cover. Frequently refreshed data from each orbit every 5-12 days facilitates remote monitoring of the changing state of the forested assets over time.
