Data Platform

Terrain-AI establishes benchmark test-sites and data-gathering locations across Ireland, equipped with various field instruments, that are used to profile various habitats including; grasslands, croplands, forestry, wetlands, peatlands, and urban areas

This data is collated and fused with data from existing databases on our petabyte-scale data platform to develop profiles for these habitat types that simulate the exchanges of energy, water and carbon

These data streams are transformed into environmental indices using machine learning models and statistical methods, and integrated with earth system modelling to generate the best information possible for more effective and sustainable management practices and policies for carbon reduction. These models can then be used to predict patterns in comparable contexts and give a national perspective for more effective carbon management

This allows us to equip policy makers at the local and national level with sensitive and contextually specific information to help combat climate change
