EarthScan Network Incorporated provides a time-critical advantage to the
agricultural industry by allowing Internet access to ordering, archiving,
analysis, and delivery of remotely sensed imagery from the Ikonos satellite.
Integrating the analyzed high-resolution imagery with historic, current, and
forecast weather data into a large-scale GIS map layer provides a powerful
modeling and assessment tool that can lead to improved management decisions
for issues such as irrigation scheduling and the application of herbicides,
insecticides, and/or nutrients.
