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.

Announcing EcoTech Connect Discussion Series

EcoTech Connect is a dedicated space for all the UC Berkeley community of researchers of all skill levels to come together and explore the technical best practices shaping environmental science. The primary focus is on reproducible data analysis, cutting-edge methods in environmental research, software engineering, and collaborative programming. By engaging in these discussions, participants will gain insights into the "why" behind these practices, emphasizing the rationale and long-term benefits rather than just the technical steps.
