for WATER QUALITY & CLIMATE RESILIENCE
For almost a decade, our lab has been working to build datasets, tools, workflows, and partnerships that help us better understand and manage freshwaters in Colorado, the United States, and beyond.
Our work relies on data we collect and share, public data from satellites, sensors, and samples, and on public codebases that help us understand what this data means and how we can use it to improve freshwater management.
To build on the work of others and maximize our impact, we work with open, collaborative code, that we try hard to make inviting and legible for people of all backgrounds and skill levels.
Water quality
forecasting
We create decision-support systems to predict and manage water quality, helping partners like citites protect their water supply with cutting-edge technology.
water data
synthesis
We transform complex data into actionable insights, working with stakeholders like the EPA to help you make the most of your data.
climate vulnerability
assessment
We analyze long-term water risks under a changing climate, helping organizations like the National Park Service plan for future challenges.
Featured Projects
water supply
vulnerability
national park service
We’re developing innovative assessment tools to help the National Park Service understand future threats to drinking water supplies at parks.
Data
functionality
environmental
Protection agency
We helped the Environmental Protection Agency improve functionality of their water quality portal data querying and visualization tools.
real-time
water quality monitoring
city of fort collins
We’re developing a real-time water quality monitoring network to help the City of Fort Collins protect its water supply and mitigate potential risks.
water supply Decision-support
nasa + northern water
We’re creating decision support systems for sourcewater management using machine learning and remote sensing technology.
