Data-enabled solutions to our most pressing environmental challenges

Our Mission

The Eric and Wendy Schmidt Center for Data Science & Environment (DSE) combines the power of computing and environmental science with open science principles and a commitment to inclusivity—all towards the purpose of building tangible, replicable, and accessible solutions to problems compromising the health of our environment. We aim to co-create these solutions in direct partnership with those who hold the knowledge and expertise of their local needs and environmental context.

Launched in 2022, the DSE is a partnership between UC Berkeley's Rausser College of Natural Resources and the College of Computing, Data Science, and Society, with the financial support of Eric and Wendy Schmidt.
