Green Meridian Information Factory

The Green Meridian Information Factory (GTIF) Dashboard is an ESA-funded webGIS demonstrator covering the UK, Ireland and France. Coordinated by University College London with partners EarthDaily Analytics, Compass Informatics/Tracsis Geo Intelligence and Surrey AI, it ingests satellite imagery and derived products across five thematic domains: Energy Transition (bifacial solar farm siting using surface albedo and cloud modelling), Mobility Transition (street-level PM2.5 air quality at ≤250 m resolution), Food Systems (1–3 month drought prediction for croplands from multispectral data), Carbon Accounting (fugitive methane detection and quantification using Sentinel-2 SWIR and the EarthDaily constellation), and Sustainable Cities (surface urban heat island mapping and building-level heat-loss assessment via Landsat and SatVu thermal imagery). Results are surfaced through a single unified web-based geospatial dashboard with interactive maps, time-series charts and narrative story views, enabling non-technical decision-makers in national government, regional/local services, NGOs and private finance to explore and apply EO-derived indicators without specialist software. The platform is freely accessible as a demonstration and targets public authorities, urban planners, renewables developers and researchers seeking decision-ready intelligence for green-transition planning.
