Every layer of the land, on one fast point.

Click any point on land and get the full terrestrial picture - land cover and forest, terrain and soil, hydrology and land weather - from the world's free Earth-observation data, fused into one answer. This is the live fusion: the fields are real, each at its own resolution, and so is the serve time.

Pick a point on land to see its fused Earth data

A live, keyless call on every click - the point, each field on its own native grid, and its honest coverage are exactly what the API returned. No single grid, no interpolation: every value is sampled where you clicked.

HOW IT WORKS

One clean call for the real state of the ground, anywhere your users are.

Lands aggregates the world's free land data - land cover, terrain, soil, forests, hydrology and land weather - and fuses it at serve time into one response. You send a coordinate; you get back dozens of fields, each on its own native grid, each reporting its true resolution, age and source, with honest coverage where a dataset reaches and a clean null where it does not.

fused at serve time, cached per cell

Every open land source, in one call

Land cover, terrain, soil, forests, hydrology and land weather from the best free Earth-observation programmes (ESA WorldCover, Copernicus DEM, SoilGrids, Hansen GFC, HydroLAKES, ERA5-Land, CGLS...). One coordinate in, the whole terrestrial picture out.

Each field at its TRUE resolution

There is no single grid for the land. 10 m land cover, 30 m terrain, 250 m soil, 9 km weather - every field stays on its source's native grid and reports its real resolution and age, never homogenised onto one blurry pixel.

Honest coverage, never invented

Where a source covers your point you get the value and its provenance; where it does not, the field comes back null with an honest coverage flag. Regional bonuses light up only where a clean local source exists, and never create a gap elsewhere.

Terrain, soil and water, derived

Slope, aspect and a topographic wetness index come straight off the Copernicus DEM; soil pH, texture, organic carbon and nitrogen from SoilGrids; nearest river, basin and surface-water occurrence from the global hydrography - the things a map alone cannot tell you.

Land weather, composed in

Soil moisture and temperature, precipitation, evapotranspiration and snow ride on top of the static surface, from ERA5-Land and the high-resolution forecast models - the same engine the Waters product is built on, pointed at the ground.

Transparent provenance

Every field shows its exact source, native resolution and timestamp, and the cell shows the interpolation weights behind your point. No black box: you can see, on the map, precisely which open dataset built each value.
