Services

We use data and models combined with our knowledge of the local context to build actionable data-driven advice and visualisations of impact. Choose specialized services for specific needs, or partner with us through all project phases.

🎯 Specialized Services

One-off expertise delivered on your timeline. Whether you need days or months, these services address specific landscape questions independently.

Specialized Service

1. Landscape & Hydrological Assessments

⏱️ Weeks to Months

Most climate-related issues can be traced through water. We conduct landscape-wide hydrological assessments combining field measurements, hydrological modelling, and remote sensing to understand water processes, availability, and climate impacts. Use this service when you need to understand water resources for irrigation or domestic use, assess climate resilience, respond to water crises, or establish water resource management strategies.

What We Include:
  • Hydrological field measurements (quantity & quality)
  • Water availability assessment & discharge analysis
  • Hydrogeological & hydrological modelling
  • Remote sensing for landcover, water bodies & flooding
Specialized Service

2. Research & Knowledge Development

⏱️ Weeks to Months

We strengthen evidence-based programme implementation by embedding research into development work. With 20 years of experience in action research, we develop methodological innovations and host research partnerships like PhD candidates. Use this service when you want to embed research into your programme, develop innovations, publish findings, or host research collaborations aligned with your priorities.

What We Include:
  • Research partnerships & PhD hosting
  • Methodological innovation in remote sensing & hydrology
  • Peer-reviewed publications & knowledge products
  • Evidence integration for programme design

3. Capacity Building & Training

⏱️ Days to Weeks

We provide training and technical support to local staff, farmers, and programme partners through workshops and ongoing mentoring. Build lasting capacity in irrigation management, hydrology, remote sensing, and landscape monitoring. Use this service when your team needs to strengthen technical skills, interpret satellite data, conduct field measurements, or manage monitoring systems independently.

What We Include:
  • Tailored workshops & training sessions
  • Practical demonstrations with tools & field methods
  • Documentation & knowledge transfer materials
  • Ongoing mentoring & technical support

🚀 Long-Term Project Support

Partner with us through all project phases. This integrated journey combines rapid assessment, detailed planning, and ongoing impact monitoring—designed to support your entire project lifecycle.

The Project Journey

These three services form a natural progression. Start with a quick scan to understand what's possible, move into detailed inception work if warranted, and establish monitoring systems to track progress and impact throughout implementation.

4c. Regular Monitoring
Long-Term Support

4a. Quick Scan

⏱️ Days to Weeks

A rapid assessment to identify key landscape features and intervention areas. Through satellite-based land use assessment and desk research, we visualise your study area and articulate what satellite data reveals. Use this during early project conception to gather quick evidence for proposal development, identify priority zones, or understand baseline conditions.

What You Get:
  • Satellite-based landscape characterisation
  • Key features & baseline conditions mapped
  • Potential intervention zones identified
  • Visual outputs for proposals & stakeholders

Long-Term Support

4b. Inception Study

⏱️ Weeks to Months

A comprehensive study to develop detailed programme plans. Includes remote sensing analysis with field validation, surveys of current practices, hydrological and land use modelling, stakeholder interviews, and design workshops. Use during project inception to understand landscape conditions in detail, quantify resources, identify opportunities, and establish baseline metrics for monitoring.

What You Get:
  • Detailed remote sensing with field validation
  • Quantified baseline conditions & trends
  • Hydrological & land use change modelling
  • Stakeholder engagement & design workshops
  • Visual documentation & baseline metrics

Example: AgroVida Assessment →

Long-Term Support

4c. Regular Monitoring

⏱️ Ongoing

Long-term tracking of landscape changes and project impacts through periodic satellite analysis, field surveys, and stakeholder engagement. Assesses whether interventions are achieving results and provides evidence for adaptive management. Use during and after implementation to track environmental changes, quantify impacts, adjust strategies, and demonstrate results to stakeholders and funders.

What You Get:
  • Periodic satellite-based landscape monitoring
  • Field surveys & hydrological measurements
  • Impact quantification & reporting
  • Visual documentation & comparison
  • Evidence for adaptive management decisions

Example: Deforestation Monitoring →
