SMART EARTH PROJECT

As we experience the Anthropocene, societies are becoming more aware of the extent to which human activities have impacted the environment to which constitute this distinct geological change. We believe that, with appropriate safeguards, the tools of the Digital Age can help us address some of the most pressing issues of this new geological era... Led by Dr. Karen Bakker, our research team studies the impacts of digital technologies on environmental sustainability. Our Smart Earth platform provides a catalogue of environment-oriented technological innovations: from citizen science apps to drones, virtual reality, artificial intelligence and many more, our database shows a real-time index of how technology is being used to model, monitor and regulate ecosystems across the globe... We're a collaborative of ecologists, environmentalists, digital technologists and computer scientists.
