"ForINT provides forest managers a tool built on over 10 years of our experience delivering industry-leading results to our customers," said Peter Young, CEO of GSI. "Previously, forest managers were only able to make educated guesses on the value of forest land before engaging in timberland acquisitions or forest carbon projects; we're now able to provide ground-calibrated insights where timber cruises and other field surveys may not be feasible."
ForINT is poised to revolutionize decision-making for forest managers, landowners, and environmental stakeholders. By providing comprehensive analysis through advanced remote sensing technology, ForINT allows forest managers to optimize investments, plan acquisitions and divestitures, enhance carbon sequestration efforts, and improve overall forest management practices. Additionally, ForINT supports comparable property analyses, which are crucial for compliance with the American Carbon Registry's (ACR) Improved Forest Management (IFM) methodology.
Powered by supercomputing, ForINT utilizes GSI's patented time-series approach, which analyzes a sequence of images to derive more detailed information than a single snapshot could provide. The platform is currently available for demonstration and consultation in select regions of the United States, including the southeast and northeast, with plans for expanded coverage in 2024 and 2025.
Founded in 2013, Global Surface Intelligence is a leading provider of forest and land classification analytics, using advanced artificial intelligence to transform satellite imagery, LiDAR, and ground survey data into actionable insights. GSI operates from offices in both the United States and the UK and has surveyed approximately 100 million acres of forest land across the United States.
