Applications include both traditional "area" based mapping such as natural vegetation, fire scar and land-cover; as well as more specialised modelling procedures such as wetland modelling, automated tree stem counts (in commercial plantations), and integrated spatial modelling in support of EIA and SEA processes. GTI remote sensing specialists have extensive professional background in a variety of natural resource science areas, including geography, geomorphology, landscape ecology and environmental management.

A wide range of natural vegetation and forestry application projects have been completed to-date, for both national and international organisations, in countries such as South Africa, Tanzania, Ghana, Namibia, Nigeria and Zambia.
