Project Delivery

Sparkgeo has a wide range of geographic experiences: from the absolute mapping of pine saplings in the Royal forest; to the measurement of Alberta's highest point; to building applications for sharing data on Google Earth; to writing open source Landsat analysis packages. We have taken on many challenges and delivered on them all.

Innovation

Innovation in geography is a core tenant of sparkgeo. We constantly observe the geo-technology landscape looking for what new technology is available and how it could make our clients' lives easier. We are focused on what our clients need and if our observations of the geo-technology landscape come to nothing, we will just build what we need.

Responsibility

Sparkgeo spends a great deal of time observing the earth either from space, the air or the ground. These observations have taught us that the Earth is a fragile place and we need to take care of it. Both environmental and social responsibility are key to our business.
