A living, global record of Earth for the next century of decision-making
LithicEarth is building a continuously updated, human-scale map of the planet. Every day, people capture a single photo that anchors a moment in time. Together, those moments become an interactive, evolving view of Earth's health, beauty, and change.
Why It Matters
Climate risk, supply chains, insurance, conservation, infrastructure—the next generation of decisions requires a higher-fidelity view of the physical world.
LithicEarth combines citizen imagery with enterprise-grade standards for provenance, privacy, and observability—so organizations can act on what they see.
The principles behind the platform
Radical Transparency
Every contribution visible. Every impact measurable. Real-time geospatial insight that leaders can rely on.
Environmental Stewardship
Decision-grade data to protect ecosystems and biodiversity, underpinned by rigorous governance and security.
Global Community
Connecting people and institutions across borders to build a shared, living record of the planet.
Relentless Innovation
From edge devices to cloud pipelines, we continuously re-engineer how the world sees Earth.
