About
Heimdall Research is an independent firm doing data engineering and geospatial analysis for clients across the continental United States.
The name
In Norse mythology, Heimdall is the watchman of the gods, said to see a hundred leagues by day or night. A lot of our work is watching large areas over long stretches of time, so the name fit.

Where our data comes from
- Federal regulatory publications
- Agency decision records
- Court and administrative filings
- State regulatory records
- Government scientific data
- Multispectral satellite imageryImages that record visible light plus bands the eye can't see, such as infrared, which help tell water, plants, and bare ground apart.
- Synthetic aperture radarRadar imaging from satellites. It works day or night and sees through cloud, which makes it useful for ice, flooding, and ground movement.
- Aerial orthoimageryAerial photos corrected so distances and positions line up with a map.
