Environmental data sources ~ Hosted at international organizations & networks

Earth Observing Dashboard

     · The European Space Agency (ESA), Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA), and National

       Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) have combined their resources, technical knowledge,

       and expertise to produce this Earth Observing Dashboard, which strengthens our understanding of

       global environmental changes and other societal challenges impacting our planet.”

Global Earth Observation System of Systems (GEOSS)

     · Hosted by Group on Earth Observations (GEO)

     · GEOSS Portal

     · Wikipedia entry

     · Key site for environmental data: “...an online map-based user interface which allows users to

       discover and access Earth observation data and resources from different providers from all over

       the world.”

Organization for Economic Cooperation & Development (OECD)

     Environmental statistics, accounts and indicators

Environmental data sources ~ Other

ARtificial Intelligence for Environment & Sustainability (ARIES)

     · “We want to revolutionize data-intensive science for decision-making by ensuring that scientific data

       and models are Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable (FAIR). In the digital age, where

       connectivity and collaboration are paramount, we envision a future where individuals, businesses, and

       governments have access to a fully connected information landscape, enabling collaborative efforts to

       address pressing environmental and sustainability challenges.”

ChartsBin: Environment

     · “...a web-based data visualization tool that will allow everyone to quickly and easily create rich

       interactive visualizations with their own data. You can then share your interactive visualizations

       with others by embedding them in websites, blogs or sharing via Facebook or Twitter. We're focused

       on building the most exciting and engaging destination for statisticians, and computer scientists in

       the world.”

Environmental Data Initiative (EDI)

Measuring Progress

     · "...an interactive online tool suggesting green economy indicators for policy-making."

Our World in Data

     · Click on "Articles by topic," which leads to an array of environmental and other topics.

Resource Watch

     · “...a dynamic platform that leverages technology, data, and human networks to bring unprecedented

       transparency about the planet right now.

Conferences

ECODIVE (Evaluating Conferences for Diverse Engagement)

     · "...goals are to evaluate how conferences are serving ecologists and environmental scientists, and how

       future conference design in these fields can best meet the needs of diverse organizations and individuals.

       Our research investigates how virtual and hybrid conference formats can facilitate access and inclusion."


Science communications

envirobites

     · "...where graduate students, postdoctoral researchers, and science professionals come together

          to write easy-to-read, compelling summaries of recent, cutting-edge research papers in

          environmental science to make them accessible to non-experts. We want to share our passion

          for research with all non-scientists who are interested to learn more about the environment:

          This ranges in scale from identifying science problems and solutions in cities to explaining the

          complex environmental challenges facing our planet as a whole.”
