Mapping

Model sunlight and building shadows in 3D

Best for: Testing whether an outdoor image's shadow direction is plausible for a candidate location and time.

Compare mountain skylines with terrain panoramas

Best for: Testing a candidate viewpoint against the ridge shapes visible in an outdoor photograph.

Align historical map images with modern coordinates

Best for: Comparing a scanned historical plan or map with current geography.

Desktop geospatial analysis for evidence-led mapping

Best for: Combining public boundaries, satellite layers, points and timelines into a reproducible geographic analysis.

Analyze satellite time series in a cloud geospatial environment

Best for: Testing environmental or land-change questions across dates rather than inspecting one satellite image.

Satellite active-fire detections, maps and alerts

Best for: Checking whether thermal detections are consistent with a reported fire within a defined place and period.

Find and access radar remote-sensing data

Best for: Discovering SAR scenes for a place and date when optical imagery is obscured or unsuitable.

Explore apparent fishing activity and vessel context

Best for: Public-interest research on fishing patterns, marine activity and changes around protected areas.

Public influence and relationship mapping

Best for: Mapping public relationships among people, companies, nonprofits, donors, officials, and organizations during influence research.
