Earth Systems Institute is a research organization based in Seattle, WA that specializes in studying and predicting the effects of habitat change on salmon populations in the Arctic-Yukon-Kuskokwim region. Their team of experts uses advanced remote sensing data and innovative algorithms to create high-resolution terrain and hydro-geomorphic attributes, providing valuable insights into the distribution and productivity of salmon in freshwater environments.
With a focus on the Nome River in northwestern Alaska, Earth Systems Institute has successfully developed accurate and cost-effective methods for creating detailed maps and models of stream networks and floodplain complexity. They also utilize Synthetic Aperture Radar data to classify open water and ice, contributing to the understanding of how winter conditions impact salmon habitat. Through their research, Earth Systems Institute aims to support fisheries management and improve predictions of the effects of habitat change on salmon populations in the Arctic-Yukon-Kuskokwim region.
