Assessment of forest fire risks

Forest Fire Risk Assessment & Modelling

Effective forest fire prevention and response require reliable data and situational awareness, whether in vast forests or Wildland-Urban Interface (WUI) areas. Our LiDAR-based analysis identifies high-risk zones by evaluating critical parameters of fire fuels, terrain, infrastructure, and resources. Beyond strengthening preventive efforts, advanced risk assessments support strategic suppression tactics.
Data on stress trees and forest resilience

Forest Health Monitoring and Early Detection of Threats

Arbonaut offers detailed analysis of forest growth conditions and deadwood presence to evaluate risks of forest asset loss due to climate-driven events and insect outbreaks. This approach helps prevent the spread of bark beetle infestations and allows for the identification of stressed trees and areas, enabling timely preventive sylvicultural actions. Mapped dead trees not only highlight risk areas but also serve as important indicators for biodiversity.
Deforestation and land degradation

Technical Solutions for Carbon Projects and REDD+

Arbonaut supports carbon project developers and governments with advanced technologies to plan, implement and monitor projects while ensuring compliance with REDD+ initiatives, VCS, and other international carbon market standards. We specialize in land use and cover mapping at multiple scales, AI-driven terrestrial carbon stocks, and the development of MRV systems.

Monitoring of land cover change, forest biomass and reporting of greenhouse gas emissions/removals

Developed in alignment with IPCC best practices and guidelines

Enables proactive interventions to prevent deforestation and forest degradation in near real-time

Long-standing collaboration with national stakeholders with 15 years of experience and over 20 projects

Accurate baseline estimations to unlock funding opportunities

Ensuring transparency with public access for accountability and credibility

Data on amount of carbon in the trees

Tree-Level Carbon Assessment

LiDAR-based analysis ensures high-accuracy carbon stock estimation and monitoring, offering a dynamic tree-level mapping that takes forest operations into account. This approach increases accountability and transparency in reporting. Additionally, the LiDAR data can be leveraged for various value-added applications across different areas of forest management.
Mapping tree biodiversity

Biodiversity Mapping

Arbonaut invested significant effort in developing biodiversity indicators to identify key areas for effective management. Leveraging LiDAR data, spectral sensors, and background maps, we deliver solutions that balance biodiversity conservation with economically sound management, supporting your operations for long-term success.
Data for worksite planning

Worksite planning

Arbonaut helps maximize efficiency and reduce costs by transitioning planning to the office. Our data-driven insights automate worksite prioritization, saving hours in planning and optimizing resource use. By improving productivity and workforce performance, we support the long-term value and resilience of your forest assets.
Mapping of conditions for forest operations

Operating Conditions

Forest operations depend on more than just trees. Factors like topography, seasonal operability, drivability, visibility, wetness, as well as tending and thinning needs can all impact productivity. Traditionally, collecting the data requires fieldwork, but now you can plan operations digitally with high-accuracy data, saving resources and increasing efficiency.
Mapping of forest roads for easy access to the worksite

Forest Road Management

Access to forest resources directly impacts their value. While traditional road condition assessments rely on manual field inspections, Arbonaut leverages LiDAR technology to provide comprehensive road condition analysis, including surface conditions, structural integrity, and maintenance needs. Our approach focuses on supporting accessibility and decision-making, reduced fieldwork costs, and improved road network sustainability.
Water and forest drainage analysis

Hydrological Connectivity Analysis

Arbonaut provides remote sensing-based solutions for understanding water flow within watershed and forest drainage networks. Our proprietary technology enables precise mapping of areas to integrate water management with ongoing forest operations. With our hydrological connectivity model, you can analyze water flow volumes and plan maintenance or restoration efforts from your office for improved water quality.
