Australia, October 17, 2025 - Do you think you can't see a flower from space? Think again...
Some interesting patterns showed up when running a change detection and disturbance check on one of the carbon projects we are monitoring as part of our services.
This "purple" image shows the change in Sentinel-2 pixel values from September to December 2024 where darker or lighter colours represent 'more change'. The dark areas look like they could be burned areas, or maybe something water-related, but it turns out they are most likely the disappearance of mass displays of wildflowers.
To confirm this, see the true colour images from those two points in time:
September 2024 and December 2024.
Fortunately, we had some boots on ground just a few weeks before in August 2024, which seems to confirm the theory!
