About Earthline Trace

Commodity supply chains, mapped to the plot and the field.

Three products, one sign-in

Each product answers the questions of one commodity or one risk. A client opens the ones set up for it with the same account.

How the work is done

  1. Collect

    Mills, facilities and plots come from the client and its suppliers. Field boundaries, forest maps and satellite data come from public sources, listed below.

  2. Analyse

    Earthline's geospatial team checks every plot or field against the forest and tree-loss maps, and adds the context each product needs: village risk, crop history, fire hotspots.

  3. Review

    An analyst reviews the results before a client sees them. Data problems, such as a mill in the wrong place, are sent back to the source instead of being hidden.

  4. Publish

    The results appear in the client's workspace as maps, figures and downloads, with the date of the data and its sources named in the workspace.

Open data behind it

Public datasets, used as published and named wherever their figures appear.

  • JRC Global Forest Cover 2020Where forest stood on 31 December 2020, the EUDR cutoff
  • Hansen Global Forest ChangeTree-cover loss year by year after 2020
  • USDA Crop Sequence BoundariesUS field outlines with eight seasons of crops
  • USDA Cropland Data LayerWhat each US field grew, year by year
  • NASA FIRMS (VIIRS)Fire hotspots from three satellites, several times a day
  • Copernicus Sentinel-1 and -2Radar and optical images for each case and field

Who runs it

Every product is operated by Earthline's geospatial team, who prepare the data, run the analysis and review the results before a client sees them.

How access works

Earthline Trace is not self-serve. Workspaces are set up per client by invitation, and each account sees only the data it is entitled to.
