Ecological Forecasting Project
Predicting Nature Like We Predict The Weather
Rigorously, reliably, and with uncertainty quantified.

our mission
We develop tools that forecast everyday services provided by ecosystems, like water quality, forest production, and more.
We develop and deploy environmental sensors, build robust ecological models, and work closely with forecast users to co-create tools that can guide decision-making on human health and well-being. Our goal is to develop reliable forecasts and intuitive visualizations that protect our communities and advance our understanding of ecosystems.
what we do
Reimagining the future of ecological forecasting.
We are a team of ecology, data science, and management leaders, working together to develop robust forecasts for natural systems. We provide a complete forecast workflow to ensure quality data, iterative models, and actionable tools.

why this work matters
We can no longer use historical baselines to predict tomorrow’s environmental conditions.
The environment is changing dramatically, and quickly.
We develop tools to predict future environmental conditions, in the way the National Weather Service currently forecasts weather. The environmental variables we focus on provide critical services for society and bolster our understanding of natural resource management.
