The team and company behind ForestCast
Rho Earth LC is a research and analytics company focused on Earth systems intelligence. ForestCast is our flagship platform.
Dr. Wallet has spent three decades deploying machine learning and statistical modeling against complex geophysical systems. His career spans the Naval Surface Warfare Center (Dahlgren), Schlumberger, Saudi Aramco -- where his ML-driven seismic interpretation methods generated over $120M in assessed value -- and Bayer, where he built production data pipelines for agricultural analytics.
He holds seven patents, has published 70+ peer-reviewed papers and technical articles, and served as co-PI for the AASPI consortium at the University of Oklahoma.
As Editor-in-Chief of Interpretation journal (a joint publication of SEG and AAPG), Dr. Wallet maintains active engagement with the geophysical research community while directing the scientific foundation of ForestCast.
Why ForestCast
ForestCast exists because the gap between what science knows about forest disturbance and what decision-makers can act on is growing wider every year. The monitoring programs that worked for a stable climate are not adequate for an era of compound stress, novel drought, and cascading disturbance.
The platform addresses a market that every climate trend is making larger: the $120B+ U.S. timber industry, the expanding forest carbon credit market, and growing federal and state investment in forest resilience. ForestCast is positioned at the intersection of climate risk, natural resource management, and Earth observation -- sectors converging rapidly.
