Data analytics and visualization

Focus on data quality and representations for diverse stakeholders

Data science is essential in understanding complex systems, making predictions,and providing decision-makers with information they can act upon. To employ innovative data collection and analysis techniques in solving problems, we work on making sure that the data and methods in use can be trusted and that the technologies that are being maintained and developed can be sustainably used and deployed beyond the developed world.

D2I engages in projects that study various dimensions of the coupled social and natural systems and develops novel approaches to observing such systems at high spatial and temporal resolutions.
