Informed, intelligent decisions for resilience on a changing planet.

We're developing frontier Earth Science AI to protect and preserve the world's most important assets.

We predict the risks and effects of climate volatility, empowering everyone to make informed decisions through Earth Science AI

Connecting AI + Earth + Human Decisions

Climate volatility is a threat to the economic, social, and ecological value of assets worldwide.

With our climate in flux, making better decisions, minimising risk and identifying opportunities is critical. Our Earth Science AI provides the tailored insight and global perspective needed to do just that, creating a powerful partnership between humans, AI and the planet.

Independent, dynamic Climate Security tools for every asset.

From extreme weather events to broader climate shifts, our pioneering Earth Science AI allows businesses, governments and individuals to monitor the impact of climate signals like extreme heat, fire, flood or drought on their assets – natural or built – developing a quantified, unified view of risk now and in future.

Earth Science AI: three advanced disciplines powerfully combined.

Our open-access Earth Science AI platform brings together

  • Sophisticated data engineering and automation
  • AI and machine learning 
  • Physical sciences expertise

to create the most comprehensive, unified, actionable asset-level climate data possible.

Empowering decisions that enhance resilience and enable restoration.

This powerful knowledge enables decision-makers to:

  • Benchmark and baseline current climate risks to assets
  • Base short-term operational decisions on rigorous forecasts
  • Plan for asset resilience in the long term
  • Restore assets and planet through personalised recommendations

We’re offering selected partners early beta access to our AI platform. From risk analysts to modellers to C-suite decision- and policy-makers, across insurance, finance, FMCG and government, you’ll benefit from the comprehensive climate risk data and analysis provided by our platform – personalised for you to proactively manage your asset-level risk.

Understanding Climate Security Through Assets

Understanding Climate Security Through Assets

“Climate security” has been discussed for several years, yet understanding of the term is not widespread and lacks a clear definition. Moreover, often it is used in a limited way, failing to encapsulate the broad sense in which climate change threatens security. ...

Remote Sensing Of Planet Earth – Part 3: Modis vs Sentinel-2

Remote Sensing Of Planet Earth – Part 3: Modis vs Sentinel-2

In the last blog post we looked into Sentinel-2 from the European Space Agency. In this one we introduce another optical imagery sensor, called Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS). MODIS has some distinctively different properties from Sentinel-2:...

Decoding Climate Uncertainty

Decoding Climate Uncertainty

This talk was originally given by Mark Hodgson, Chief Business Officer at Cervest, for Agri-Tech-E’s webinar “Keeping a Sunny Outlook - De-risking Agriculture Through Weather-Tech” on 29th April 2020. Summary: An increasingly uncertain climate is impacting entire food...

Ernesta Baniulyte 
Product Designer

Ernesta has been a full-stack product designer for more than five years. She has valuable experience in the B2B, B2C and B2B2C worlds, and while working at both agencies and product/service companies, she has learned to develop UX research infrastructures to support strategy.

At Cervest, Ernesta contributes to all stages of the product development process – from initial ideation to the exacting detail of UI design – finding new ways to visualise data, and ensure our product is intuitive and user friendly.

Ernesta’s decision to join Cervest was inspired by her desire to make the world a safer, better and more aware place.

Ramani Lachyan 
Junior Research Scientist

Ramani joined Cervest after obtaining her Master’s in Physics from ETH, Zurich. She brings with her valuable experience gained through working on model building and data simulation pertaining to neutrino physics.

Ramani has joined Cervest as a Junior Research Scientist and will be working on creating algorithms that allow for the extraction of physical observables from data from a range of sources.

Lukas Scholtes 
Statistical Scientist

Lukas completed his maths BSc at ETH Zurich, followed by an MSc in statistics at Imperial College. He wrote his MSc thesis in collaboration with Cervest, on the modelling of North American wheat yields via Bayesian parametric and non-parametric methods.

Following an internship in the NGO sector in Bangladesh and a stint in the world of fintech, Lukas comes to Cervest, excited to apply himself to the challenges that are arising as a consequence of unsustainable land-use policies and climate change.

Aidan Coyne
Junior Researcher

Aidan is currently pursuing a Bachelor of Arts and Sciences in Science and Engineering at University College London with a focus on computer science and data informatics.

At Cervest, Aidan is working on researching and assimilating a database of articles categorising the reasons for extreme decreases in crop yields across Europe. The information will be used to help predict the impact of weather events on crop yield and contribute to  Cervest’s ability to bring clarity to decision making around climatic and extreme events.

While studying, she also volunteers with environmental conservation groups and youth engagement programmes.
