About ECODATALAB

ECOADATALAB is a consortium of universities using data science to scale up climate and sustainability solutions. The data, tools and analyses on this website are contantly updated and expanding with input from teams of ECODATALAB students and researchers. We welcome faculty advisers, nationally and internationally, who wish to join the project.

ECODATALAB is supported by financial contributions of member organizations who help identify priorities and benefit from the resources on ENVIROEXPLORER.ORG. See our membership page for details.
