Description

We sat down with Tim Kelton, co founder of Descartes Labs, to talk about how they use the cloud to analyze huge amounts of satellite and sensor data in order to model changes on the Earth - from greenhouse emissions to large-scale crop identification.


Since we spoke with Tim, Descartes has been in the media for some extra-interesting use cases, which I would like to highlight:
