Professional Tools, Expert Team

Using professional-grade drones, mission control systems, and cutting-edge photogrammetry software, we successfully manage projects of all scopes and sizes.

Creating maps and surface analyses
Scientific Mapping at Dinosaur Ridge

For the past three years, we've produced sub-millimeter resolution maps and surface analyses of dinosaur tracks at Dinosaur Ridge in Colorado—detecting even the slightest surface changes to protect these fragile, irreplaceable resources.

"Exceptional Work That Advances Science and Preservation"

The photogrammetry and analysis services provided by the team far exceeded expectations. The approach is organized, efficient, professional, and cutting-edge. The results are exceptional. We now have precise baseline information and some initial year-over-year analysis of surface changes in our in-situ paleontological resources, which is essential information for management and preservation decision making.

In 2024, the team proposed locating historic tracks with significant cultural and scientific value. The fact that they were able to “find” the “lost tracks” from the 1930s is important to the historical and paleontological value of the site. The fact that many/most of the “lost tracks” are lost contributes to a (relatively) long-range understanding of the dynamic nature of the site, which makes me even more grateful we’ve invested in this team’s services to thoroughly document surface conditions for monitoring purposes.

I would highly recommend this team. They are amazing. Full stop.
