Boreal Shield Analytics delivers advanced data science, environmental analytics, and geospatial intelligence. Led by Sophie Gagnon, we transform northern data into powerful insights.
Environmental Data Scientist & Founder
With over 12 years of experience in environmental data science across Canada's northern territories, Sophie founded Boreal Shield Analytics to bridge the gap between raw environmental data and actionable intelligence.
Our Yellowknife-based lab specializes in geospatial analysis, environmental monitoring, and data-driven consulting for government agencies, mining companies, and conservation organizations.
Three integrated service layers — from raw data to actionable northern intelligence.
Climate modeling, permafrost monitoring, wildlife population analysis, and ecosystem health assessments using satellite imagery and field data.
GIS mapping, remote sensing, LiDAR analysis, and spatial data modeling for mining, forestry, and land-use planning in northern regions.
Custom data pipelines, machine learning models, and visualization dashboards for government, industry, and research institutions.
Located on 50th Avenue in downtown Yellowknife. Our lab sits at the edge of the boreal shield — the perfect base for northern data science operations.
