What Your Sagedoer Earth Observation Assistant Handles Daily

Eliminate data preparation bottlenecks from preliminary cloud queries to final publication-ready cartographic exhibits.

Satellite Granule Ingestion & Cloud-Masking Triage

Query open-source and commercial constellations, filtering by Area of Interest (AOI), date windows, and strict cloud-cover thresholds.

  • Copernicus CDSE & USGS EarthExplorer Sentinel-2/Landsat batch downloads
  • Cloud-cover screening (<10%) and QA60/SCL scene classification checks
  • Radiometric calibration and atmospheric correction (Sen2Cor) verification

Vector Boundary Digitization & CRS Standardization

Scrub messy geospatial vector files, repair non-conforming geometries, and ensure uniform projection standards across datasets.

  • Coordinate Reference System (CRS/EPSG) harmonization (WGS84 vs UTM zones)
  • Boundary digitization for agricultural plots, deforestation zones, and flood extents
  • Shapefile, GeoJSON, and GeoPackage topology cleaning and attribute validation

GEE Script Staging & Processing Queue Monitoring

Assist research fellows in executing and monitoring large-scale composite scripts in Google Earth Engine and cloud Jupyter notebooks.

  • Asset folder organization and GEE collection table imports
  • Long-running export task monitoring and memory timeout logging
  • Parameter table updates (vegetation indices, NDVI, NDWI, EVI thresholds)

STAC Metadata Indexing & Cloud Bucket Cataloging

Maintain order across multi-terabyte raster archives in Amazon S3, Google Cloud Storage, or institutional network servers.

  • SpatioTemporal Asset Catalog (STAC) JSON metadata schema validation
  • Cloud-Optimized GeoTIFF (COG) conversion batch monitoring
  • Rigorous file naming protocol audits (Satellite_Sensor_AOI_Date_Product)

Ground-Truth & In-Situ Sensor Data Alignment

Reconcile physical field survey logs, eddy covariance flux towers, and UAV flights with corresponding orbital overpass timestamps.

  • Handheld GPS waypoint and field photo geotag extraction into GIS layers
  • Atmospheric sounding and weather station CSV time-series cleaning
  • Drone orthomosaic spatial overlap and Ground Control Point (GCP) filing

Academic Reference Auditing & Grant Figure Prep

Keep publications and research grant deliverables running smoothly through immaculate bibliography management and exhibit prep.

  • Zotero and Mendeley citation cleansing and BibTeX key exports for Overleaf/LaTeX
  • Cartographic layout prep (north arrows, scale bars, legend styling) in QGIS
  • Open-science repository uploads (Zenodo, PANGAEA, Dryad) with DOI tracking

Clear Answers

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about spatial coordinate systems, satellite data handling, embargoed research NDAs, and our managed model.

Yes. Our virtual assistants are trained to navigate high-volume cloud storage systems (AWS S3, Google Cloud Storage, Microsoft Planetary Computer) and work with Cloud-Optimized GeoTIFFs (COGs). They can configure download scripts, extract specific multispectral bands, verify CRS projections, and maintain clean folder hierarchies without cluttering local bandwidth.
Earth observation studies frequently involve proprietary algorithms, commercial satellite data licenses (Planet/Maxar), and unpublished scientific conclusions. All Sagedoer team members execute binding Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs). Assistants operate strictly within your secure research accounts and repositories with multi-factor authentication, ensuring zero unauthorized dissemination.
Your Project Manager acts as your single operational liaison. Instead of you spending precious research hours coaching an assistant on satellite band naming conventions, reviewing vector polygon topology, or auditing timesheets, your manager translates your laboratory's standard operating procedures (SOPs) into daily work orders, audits data outputs, and verifies time tracking—completely free of charge.
Yes. Your assistant can maintain your master Zotero or Mendeley reference libraries, verify DOI URLs, clean up BibTeX keys, format scientific bibliographies according to specific journal requirements (e.g., Remote Sensing of Environment, IEEE TGRS, Nature Geoscience), and compile supplementary data tables for manuscript submission.
None. We charge 0% platform markups and zero onboarding fees. You pay strictly for the contracted productive hours worked ($7/hr Part-Time or $6/hr Full-Time). You retain total flexibility as your research grant cycles, fieldwork seasons, or publication deadlines expand and contract.
