Tools for Ecology, Analysis & Landscapes
Bioacoustics monitoring & Analysis
We process ARU datasets from raw recordings through defensible ecological results.
Services include audio and metadata QA/QC, automated detection, species-specific validation, activity and occupancy modeling, detection-probability analysis, and report-ready visualization.
Deliverables often include cleaned detection tables, reproducible code, maps, seasonal summaries, interactive dashboards, and monitoring recommendations.
Detection modeling: Species-specific GAMs and machine-learning algorithms quantify how distance and environmental conditions affect ARU detection rates, supporting recorder placement and interpretations of non detections.
Remote sensing & spatial analytics
We convert satellite, UAV, and GIS data into defensible, decision-ready products:
- surface water extraction and hydroperiod metrics,
- land cover and habitat mapping,
- change detection,
- and predictive spatial models.
Our workflows emphasize accuracy assessment, transparency, and reproducibility, with deliverables that integrate seamlessly into agency planning, reporting, and management.
Surface water and wetland mapping: Statewide hydroperiod and connectivity analyses help identify wetlands and waterways in Texas made vulnerable by the 2023 Sackett v. EPA ruling, guiding more concentrated conservation efforts.
High-resolution UAV imagery & analytics
TEAL provides in-house UAV mapping, photogrammetry, and interpretation to produce GIS-ready, decision-grade deliverables.
Final products commonly include high-resolution orthomosaics, elevation surfaces (DSM/DTM/DEM), point clouds/3D models, and repeat-flight change detection for restoration tracking, erosion/shoreline movement, and vegetation condition.
Deliverables can be packaged for ArcGIS/QGIS workflows with clear metadata, QA/QC notes, and report-ready figures.
