Four integrated services for rangeland and conservation decision-making.
From hyperspectral UAV mapping to EQIP documentation to custom sensor engineering — Zubr delivers data, analysis, and tools that move programs and operations forward.
What we offer
Each service is scoped to your program, operation, or R&D goals. Most engagements combine two or more.
Ecosystem Mapping
Hyperspectral UAV surveys and satellite imagery for rangeland and habitat characterization.
- Invasive species distribution and load mapping
- Core rangeland delineation and habitat characterization
- Change detection across seasons and years
- GIS-compatible deliverables (shapefile, GeoTIFF, KMZ)
Forage & Rangeland Analysis
Near-infrared spectroscopy and hyperspectral data for quantitative forage and range assessment.
- Crude protein and ADF/NDF fiber content via NIR
- Biomass estimation from aerial and ground data
- Invasive species presence and load in hay and forage lots
- Handheld NIR bale scanning — example: Ventenata detection
Rangeland Conservation Support
Mapping and documentation for clients working within WLFW Defend the Core, NRCS, and related conservation programs.
- Core intact rangeland mapping and encroachment monitoring
- Vulnerability assessments for program planning
- Baseline data and reporting to support program applications
- Program-formatted deliverables for agency review
Technology & Model Development
Custom sensor engineering and ML model R&D for spectroscopy and remote sensing applications.
- Custom NIR and hyperspectral sensor design
- Dataset collection and calibration for client-specified targets
- PLS, PLS-DA, SVM, and neural network model development
- Example: handheld hay bale scanner for Ventenata detection
