DATASETS


ALL THE DATA YOU NEED IN ONE SPOT

Our pricing is transparent and unmatched. Public datasets are included free in
Lens and we bring all the commercial vendors under one roof so you only pay for
what you need, starting at $0.04 per acre.

The Lens Library makes it easy to access remote sensing and environmental data
from a range of sources, giving you the power to gain insights, track changes,
and ultimately share your story. Learn more about our current datasets below.
Planet imagery


PLANET IMAGERY

Planet captures high-resolution imagery worldwide with their SkySat (0.5m) and
PlanetScope (4m) constellations. Order from the SkySat archive, or subscribe to
4m Planet Basemap monthly mosaics.

Sources: PlanetScope; SkySat archive

Planet Forest Carbon Diligence


PLANET FOREST CARBON DILIGENCE

The Planet Forest Carbon Diligence package includes modeled layers for canopy
cover, canopy height and aboveground carbon. Order directly from Lens to access
annual data back to 2013.

Learn more here.


Sources: Planet Labs

Maxar


MAXAR

Maxar Worldview 2 and 3 capture high-resolution satellite imagery worldwide at
0.5 and 0.3m resolution, respectively. This high-resolution source is ideal for
assessing past and present site conditions.

Sources: Maxar WorldView

Airbus


AIRBUS

Airbus captures hi-res satellite imagery worldwide at 0.3, 0.5, and 1.5m
resolution. Truecolor Airbus imagery can be used for baselining and monitoring.

Sources: Airbus Pléiades, Airbus Pléiades Neo, Airbus Pléiades and Extended
Archive, Airbus SPOT and Extended Archive

Nearmap


NEARMAP

Nearmap captures high-resolution aerial imagery which we display at 0.5m
resolution in Lens. Nearmap truecolor imagery is available in the US,
particularly around urban areas.

Sources: Nearmap

Parcel data


PARCEL DATA

Parcel Data from Regrid pulls parcel data from across the US directly into Lens,
allowing you to easily check tax parcel ownership. See information on land
ownership and track changes.

Landcover


LANDCOVER

Land cover models can be used to understand how landscapes are transitioning
over time. Impact Observatory uses AI to classify landscapes globally, ESA
Worldcover is based on Sentinel data, and USGS National Land Cover Database
characterizes land use in the United States. Monitor how landscapes are changing
as a result of urban expansion, ecological changes, and more.

Read: Press release for the Impact Observatory landcover dataset.

Public truecolor


PUBLIC TRUECOLOR

Truecolor imagery displays ground conditions in a natural color palette, similar
to what humans observe. Monitor with frequent revisits and pinpoint the timing
of large-scale changes.

Sources: NASA/USGS Landsat 8, USDA NAIP, ESA Sentinel-2

Global forest change


GLOBAL FOREST CHANGE

This dataset showcases forest loss globally with annual data for the past two
decades. Look back in time to understand historic forest loss, assess future
risks, and inform effective management plans.

Sources: University of Maryland GLAD Lab

Biodiversity intactness


BIODIVERSITY INTACTNESS

The Biodiversity Intactness dataset estimates terrestrial biodiversity
intactness across the globe, which can elucidate how ecosystems have changed as
a result of human pressures.

Sources: Impact Observatory and Vizzuality

Burn


BURN

Normalized Burn Ratio (NBR) or normalized burn index highlights burned areas and
can be used to measure burn severity. Assess the timing and severity of fire as
well as monitor recovery efforts after events such as wildfire or a prescribed
burn.

Sources: ESA Sentinel-2A/B, NASA/USGS Landsat 8

Building footprints


BUILDING FOOTPRINTS

Microsoft uses machine learning to detect building footprints. Assess the
presence of structures and buildings on your area of interest.

Sources: Microsoft

Species richness


SPECIES RICHNESS

The Map of Biodiversity Importance (MoBI) Species Richness dataset estimates the
number of species with habitat within a given area.

Surface water


SURFACE WATER

Normalized Difference Water Index (NDWI) identifies areas where surface water is
present, such as rivers or ponds. NDWI can help track how water presence is
changing and evaluating flood impacts.

Sources: ESA Sentinel-1 (radar), ESA Sentinel-2A/B, NASA/USGS Landsat 8, USDA
NAIP

Surface moisture


SURFACE MOISTURE

Surface moisture, derived from NDWI, identifies areas of moist bare soil and
shallow water. Monitor wetland ecosystems and seasonal moisture fluctuations in
different environments.

Sources: ESA Sentinel-2A/B, USDA NAIP

Flowlines


FLOWLINES

The flowlines data comes from USGS data showing streams and rivers across the
United States. Visualize streams and rivers on your site.

Sources: USGS

Indigenous territories


INDIGENOUS TERRITORIES

Indigenous Territories from Native Land Digital maps Indigenous territory
boundaries globally. Contextualize your property or project site in light of
native territories.

Sources: Native Land Digital

Falsecolor


FALSECOLOR

There are multiple color infrared datasets in Lens, which display bands from the
infrared spectrum and visible bands to elucidate details about the landscape,
such as plant health, water, and ice. False-color is useful for identifying
phenomena like certain plant species, the presence of ice, and even some water
pollutants.

Sources: ESA Sentinel-2A/B, NASA/USGS Landsat 8, USDA NAIP

Snow


SNOW

The Normalized Difference Snow Index (NDSI) highlights areas on a property where
snow is present. Evaluate snow presence, seasonal trends, and analyze trends
over time.

Sources: ESA Sentinel-2A/B, NASA/USGS Landsat 8

Vegetation


VEGETATION

Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) is a measure of vegetation vigor
or plant health. Vegetation indices are useful for monitoring plant health,
disturbance, and regrowth.

Sources: ESA Sentinel-2A/B, NASA/USGS Landsat 8, USDA NAIP

Chlorophyll


CHLOROPHYLL

The Normalized Difference Chlorophyll Index (NDCI) is used to estimate the
amount of chlorophyll in bodies of water and is not meant to be used in areas of
dry ground. Higher values indicate higher presence of chlorophyll. This layer is
derived from ESA Sentinel-2 going back to late 2015 with frequent captures.
