aerialPLOT is a web-based software solution designed that automates the analysis and management of aerial imagery. aerialPLOT is built for plot-based agricultural field research at operational scale. It is a robust tool that automates the collection of crop growth and health measurements, allowing users to upload stitched geotiff imagery from any sensor and quickly extract plot-based measurements. Easily set up your research farms, fields, and trials once per growing season, and then efficiently process your imaging data in real time as the crop grows. aerialPLOT organizes your plot-level imagery, so you can easily publish pretty pictures and trial statistics to your clients and colleagues. Instantly access field trials remotely from any web browser.

Rem Materials LLC was founded to develop advanced biogenic cementitious materials for the worlds most challenging environmental problems. Currently we are focused on the development of new PFAS remediation materials for lower cost in-situ remediation. Materials are still in collaborative research.
