Drawing carbon boundaries: How Mapbox powers land eligibility analysis - Earthshot’s LandOS platform
summary
LandOS turns user-drawn GeoJSON into automated eligibility checks and report widgets, using the Mapbox React package for mapping, Mapbox Draw for drawing, and the Mapbox Search Box API for quick location lookup. A queued backend service called SIM Earth runs the heavy geospatial computations and the Terra Vista tool outputs eligibility classifications like tropical savannah and WWF ecoregions as tile maps and charts. The demo shows uploads, multi‑polygons, yeared satellite layers, and working drag‑and‑drop reports, with performance and PDF export listed as next steps.
