Our mission is simple: help decision-makers access the data they need while helping organizations get more value from the data they already have.

By making existing data available, we can:
• Reduce data duplication
• Support more cost-effective practices
• Reduce the environmental impact of new data acquisition

In the past ten years alone, Tarin has helped make aerial data available for 30 Alberta municipalities, generating royalties that many agencies have reinvested into future geospatial projects and initiatives.

As the flying season winds down, it’s a great time to think about what happens next with the data you’ve collected.

When your data is ready, let us know. Put it to work, generate value, and help support a more sustainable future for geospatial data.

Before you build the next connection, it helps to know exactly what’s standing in its way. 📡

For telecommunications, understanding the terrain, vegetation, existing infrastructure and right-of-way can be critical to planning efficient network routes and infrastructure.

That’s where LiDAR can help.

At Tarin Resource Services, we connect clients with the right LiDAR solution - whether that’s existing library data or managing a new LiDAR capture, often paired with orthophoto for a more complete view.

The right data can help telecom teams see the corridor before they’re in the corridor.

Whether the data already exists or needs to be captured, Tarin can help you find the right solution.

🌦️ Alberta weather is keeping us guessing this long weekend! A little cooler, a little rain, but hopefully still plenty of opportunity to get outside and enjoy the last long weekend of summer. From all of us, we hope our clients and partners have a safe, relaxing, and enjoyable Labour Day weekend!

LiDAR is transforming the way we understand the world beneath our feet.

Using pulses of light from aircraft, helicopters, or UAVs, LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) captures millions of highly accurate elevation points to create detailed 3D models of the Earth's surface. This technology can reveal terrain with remarkable precision, even beneath vegetation, providing insights that traditional mapping methods simply can't match.

At Tarin Resources, we recognize the value LiDAR brings to today's geospatial and resource management projects. The high-resolution point cloud data it produces helps GIS specialists develop accurate mapping, terrain models, and analytical products that support smarter planning and more informed decision-making.

From infrastructure planning and environmental assessments to forestry, mining, energy, and land management, LiDAR has become an essential tool for organizations that rely on accurate spatial data.

As projects become more complex, having the right data from the start makes all the difference. Contact us for more information: [email protected]

Clients often ask why aerial LiDAR and air photo projects can experience delays, but airborne data acquisition depends on a complex combination of weather, visibility, cloud cover, wind, turbulence, sun angle, and safe flying conditions.

Flying contractors are constantly balancing aircraft safety, collection efficiency, and data quality to ensure the final deliverables meet project specifications. Pilots, sensor operators, and project managers closely monitor forecast models, winds, precipitation, and cloud conditions in real time to make informed go/no-go decisions for each mission.

Sometimes delays are simply the result of waiting for the right conditions to safely collect accurate, high-quality data. If you need support planning aerial data acquisition, feel free to reach out - we’re always happy to answer questions. Email: [email protected]

Fun Fact Friday! 🤓 Did you know the world’s first aerial photograph was taken from a hot air balloon?

In 1858, a daring photographer floated high above Paris with his camera - capturing a bird’s-eye view at a time when flight itself was still a novelty. No drones, no planes… just a balloon, some serious courage, and a passion for innovation.

It’s wild to think that every breathtaking aerial shot you see today traces back to that one bold moment in the sky. 🌍

Spring weather in Alberta doing what it does best - keeping everyone guessing. This past weekend is a good reminder of why aerial acquisition projects in Western Canada demand flexibility. It’s also peak season for one of the industry’s biggest challenges: leaf-off imagery.

While “leaf-off” sounds simple in theory, in practice it’s a narrow and often frustrating window:

• Late snow or sudden storms
• Cloud cover limiting flight days
• Strong winds grounding aircraft and affecting data quality
• Rapid green-up once temperatures rise

In Alberta, that window can open and close in a matter of days. Staying flexible and ready to act when conditions align is critical.
For clients, that can mean reassessing priorities - waiting for ideal leaf-off conditions, shifting acquisition to the fall, or proceeding with summer imagery.

At Tarin Resource Services, we help navigate these realities with adaptable plans and contingency strategies to make the most of narrow seasonal windows.
