Asticou Earth Systems, LLC is a science-driven research and consulting company focused on advancing Earth system understanding through the integration of satellite remote sensing, numerical modeling, and data assimilation. Founded by veteran scientists with decades of leadership in NASA and NOAA Earth-observing programs. Asticou Earth brings expertise in the use of complex satellite observations to improve diagnostics, prediction, and decision support.
Asticou (pronounced ah-stick-oo) refers to a significant Wabanaki chief and is a place name in Maine, derived from the Penobscot language, meaning boiling kettle, describing natural stone basins where water continuously plunges.
Earth System Modeling
Earth System Modeling
Asticou Earth brings demonstrated leadership in the development of global Earth system models and advanced techniques for satellite data assimilation. Our approaches are applied to weather and air-quality forecasting, historical reanalyses, and observing system simulation experiments that support future space missions.
Atmospheric Composition
Atmospheric Composition
Asticou Earth develops state-of-the-art retrieval algorithms for atmospheric trace-gases, including ozone (O₃), sulfur dioxide (SO₂), and nitrogen dioxide (NO₂), from hyper-spectral satellite observations spanning the electro-magnetic spectrum.
Land and Ocean
Land and Ocean
Asticou Earth delivers innovative satellite-based algorithms that leverage machine learning to maximize information content under challenging conditions, including low signal levels and cloud contamination, enabling global estimates of ecosystem health and the creation of datasets that span the satellite era.
Wildfire Science
Wildfire Science
Asticou Earth designs advanced Bayesian inference algorithms for sub-pixel fire characterization, using multi-spectral satellite observations. These algorithms form the foundation for estimating gridded biomass burning emissions that are essential for driving global Earth system models.
