Started through the White House Climate Data Initiative and a Google Faculty Research award, ClimateEngine.org now plays an essential role in Earth science research and government agency decision-support and is relied upon by thousands of users each month.
With a suite of datasets consisting of satellite observations like Landsat, climate reanalyses like ERA5, and decision-ready drought and rangeland vegetation datasets, Climate Engine tools put petabytes of cutting-edge data at your fingertips. And because Climate Engine tools are backed by Google Earth Engine cloud computing, the possibilities for your analysis are nearly unlimited.
Since 2014, the ClimateEngine.org team has developed important partnerships with NOAA’s National Integrated Drought Information System (NIDIS), the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), the US Geological Survey (USGS), Google, the US Forest Service, NASA, the Navajo Nation, and more. These partnerships have been instrumental in bringing Earth Observations data into management operations.
ClimateEngine.org is a collaborative initiative between researchers and data scientists at the Desert Research Institute and the University of California Merced and is supported by Google. The team combines expertise in hydrology, climatology, ecology, quantitative methods, software engineering, and data science.
