Marble Imaging and unique land use sign MoU combining unique’s forestry and land use analytics with Marble Imaging data and geospatial infrastructure

Marble Imaging and unique land use GmbH have signed a Memorandum of Understanding to jointly develop geospatial solutions for civil security, environmental resilience, climate finance, carbon markets, sustainable land management and nature-based solutions.

The cooperation combines Very High Resolution (VHR) Earth Observation data and geospatial infrastructure from Marble Imaging with unique land use’s field-based expertise, applied analytics and risk intelligence in forestry, agriculture, coastal ecosystems and carbon projects.

Unique Land Use brings over two decades of forestry, agriculture, climate-finance and certified-carbon-market expertise, including field measurement and validation, biomass and carbon accounting, analytics, risk intelligence, and reporting for financial institutions and project developers. Its Digital Solutions team will develop joint analytics layers and integrate VHR satellite data into land-use and carbon workflows. Marble Imaging will contribute future VHR data from its satellite constellation, as well as its analytical expertise in coastal vulnerability assessment, coastal resilience, mangrove mapping and coastal deforestation monitoring. These capabilities are part of Marble Imaging’s Precious Coast Information System (PCIS), and the wider Precious Marble analytics portfolio focusing on community resilience.

The partners will focus on:

• Coastal vulnerability and resilience assessments

• Integrated risk and environmental analytics

• Biomass and environmental monitoring using VHR Marble satellite data

• Biomass estimation, forestry and land-use change monitoring

• Delivery of advanced analytics through either unique land use’s software solutions or Marble Imaging’s Kaleidoscope portal

The cooperation aims to deliver decision-ready insights supported by field validation, scalable analytics workflows and sovereign European geospatial infrastructure.

The resulting solutions will support financial institutions, public authorities, private sector partners and organisations working across climate, nature, land use and coastal ecosystems.

"Effective environmental decisions require timely, reliable observations at the right spatial and temporal scales. Through this partnership, we are integrating Marble and unique’s complementary expertise to advance VHR EO-based decision support across coastal and terrestrial ecosystems under a changing climate." said Dr. Meghna Sengupta, project manager of the Marble suite of community resilience tools.

“Shared history. Shared standards. Shared ambition. Unique Land Use and Marble Imaging are proud to formalise their partnership - bringing together years of collaboration to advance data sovereignty, high-integrity analytics, and impactful solutions spanning coastal and marine ecosystems, certified carbon markets, and the agricultural and forestry sectors.” said Dr. Johannes Mössinger, Head of Digital Solutions department at unique land use GmbH.
