We travel together, passengers on a little spaceship, dependent on its vulnerable reserves of air and soil – Adlai Stevenson, 1965. Long before these words were spoken, AeroMetric was supporting govern-ment, industry and universities in protecting our collective home – ‘spaceship’ Earth. Today, we continue to employ the latest mapping technologies, addressing environmental issues ranging from wetlands studies to glacial monitoring, seal surveys to oil spill cleanup, forest inventories to coastal inundation assessments.

Environmental Impact and Compliance SurveysAeroMetric utilizes high precision digital imagery and LiDAR technology to map a wide variety of sites in support of environmental impact studies, compliance and reclamation. These include industrial facilities, military bases, mines, landfills, chemical storage areas and pipeline corridors. We obtain and compile the information our clients require, whether it is a one time service, or periodic re-flights to document restoration and compliance. Shoreline Studies and Coastal Inundation MappingShorelines are increasingly at risk. In response, existing conditions are being mapped with greater precision to guide policy makers as they determine appropriate land use, protection measures, and emergency response. Newly developed tools provide more accurate hazard assessments and predictive modeling of potential coastal inundation areas. AeroMetric is a pioneer in this field, delivering decision support tools along with traditional mapping products.

Forestry MappingForest lands are not only an economic resource, but a key contributor to the reduction of carbon in the atmosphere—making every patch of forest a precious resource. Aerial mapping and remote sensing can capture valuable data over large areas more efficiently than traditional field methods. Using digital imagery along with the latest full waveform LiDAR configurations, AeroMetric can document forest structure and terrain, detect forest growth stages and biomass, and assist with post fire assessments and timber salvage efforts.

EnvironmentalImpervious Surface and Land Cover MappingAs our cities grow, lots are paved over, roads are widened and extended, and homes are built with patios and driveways. These impervious surfaces contribute to accelerated stormwater runoff, increasing the frequency of flood events and contributing to polluted water. Many local governments have implemented policies or taxes to discourage property owners from increasing impervious surfaces. AeroMetric routinely assists these jurisdictions with impervious surface mapping using aircraft or satellite imagery, depending on our clients’ desired level of detail.

Environmental and Natural DisastersDisasters demand a rapid response. AeroMetric offers ample resources and nationwide partnerships to ensure swift mobilization and responsive results. Baseline documentation of areas at risk is vital to assess potential environmental impacts and develop plans for mitigation. Post disaster, we capture imagery to assist with damage assessments, catalogue data for the historical record, help with reconstruction planning and document new construction. AeroMetric has experience managing data from multiple sources, employing enterprise GIS services and visualization tools to help with impact assessment and remediation planning. Wetlands MappingWetlands harbor an incredible diversity of plants and animals, and are increasingly appreciated for their ability to naturally mitigate floods and limit coastal inundation. A key to their protection is to document their location and extent. AeroMetric supports clients with digital imagery and LiDAR for wetland identification and delineation. Wildlife and Fisheries StudiesHabitat protection is one of the keystones of our national environmental policy. AeroMetric performs mapping for habitat surveys and ecosystem restoration. Our contributions have included a variety of assignments such as providing imagery to assess wildlife habitats, mapping to support salmon spawning, seal and walrus population surveys, and shellfish lease mapping. Glacier and Sea Ice MonitoringIn addition to climatologists’ interest in predicting climate change, glacier and sea ice monitoring is increasingly requested by shipping and oil companies for the protection of their sea lanes and offshore assets. AeroMetric provides monitoring with visualization tools, mapping and remote sensing methodologies. Alternative Energy Siting & Impact StudiesAlternative sources are being developed to address our society’s growing demand for energy. These include wind, solar, and geothermal facilities. AeroMetric supports the environmental studies required to investigate site suitability and impacts prior to the granting of development permits. In addition to our traditional mapping services, we work with partners to help our clients model the suitability of candidate sites.
