Climate TRACE & @earthgenome.org are nominated for The Webby Awards for ‘Best Data Visualisation’ for our air pollution plumes tool, which shows how PM2.5 pollution impacts billions of people. Check out the tool and submit your votes by April 16: vote.webbyawards.com/PublicVoting

🏆 We're nominated for a #WebbyAward! @climatetrace.org 's Air pollution platform is up for "Best Data Visualization." This tool was built to make complex, critical air quality data accessible to the public. Now we need YOUR vote! 👉 Vote here: bit.ly/4c7dx2M

🙌 We're beyond thrilled to share the launch of Africa Mining Watch with @pulitzercenter.org and @code4africa.bsky.social. This new approach expands upon our work using Earth Index to identify illegal mining in Africa. Stay tuned for more updates! More here ➡️ africaminingwatch.org

✨ Our March bulletin is out! 🔗 Check it out: bit.ly/4c5qpqj

⚙️ We recently shared the launch of RechargeIQ, a potential solution to the water crisis. Check out the full technical backstory here 👉 bit.ly/4tosXqE

We're proud to announce the Seagrass Mapping Blueprint, a new collaboration with @nature.org and @fiu.bsky.social. Together, we're developing transparent, high-quality methods to map seagrass meadows worldwide using satellite imagery, field observations, and expert insights. nature.ly/4rZhzjS

🫧 Water systems everywhere are in crisis causing record floods and depleting groundwater reserves. One potential solution: RechargeIQ, a new tool that identifies the best locations across the U.S. to capture excess floodwater and store it underground. ➕ More here: lnkd.in/eUkakKa7

New monthly emissions data from Climate TRACE are out for January 2026, showing a monthly total of 5.3 Bt CO2e, a 0.3% increase vs. January 2025.

Proud to see our partners (Vasit Sagan, Derek Tesser) in tracking cattle emissions at #RemoteSensingLab at Saint Louis University featured in this @climatetrace.org interview and have Earth Index identified as a key part of the work. 👏

🗞️ ✨ Is perpetual acceleration possible? Desirable? Super accessible AI for the Earth is for sure making action faster. We’re seeing it in the focus and delivery of our engineering on Earth Index. More in our Feb bulletin: 👉 bit.ly/3OXqK6p

Earlier this week, we shared a quick devlog on building small tools at our small org with coding agents, helping us to work better at Earth Genome with highly customized tools that would otherwise simply not exist. www.earthgenome.org/blog/devlog-...

🚀 New features are live in Earth Index! Earlier this week, we rolled out updates that make it easier to start searches, collaborate, and share insights. ✨ What’s new: bit.ly/4afzfSH 🔗 Sign up for Earth Index here: lnkd.in/eGHhpGNAhttp...

🤝 Last week, our fully remote team came together in 🏛️ D.C. for a 3-day in-person retreat. Many thanks to @developmentseed.org team for hosting us at their beautiful office. We also met many new & old friends at Wed's happy hour hosted by #geoDC. Feeling re-energized and excited for what’s ahead!✨

A close to the year. A year that fully shows the need for nimble responses to “shifting ground” and a changing planet. Proud of the collaborations and the delivery, using the power of science, data, AI and design. Thank you to everyone who has been a part of an impactful 2025. bit.ly/4pl6GYo

📋 We're excited to share a look behind the scenes at how we built the Storm Events Database Explorer. Here's more on our approach to the discovery, design iterations, and development of taking a cumbersome batch of data and transforming it into clear visual exploration. bit.ly/3YANM4B

Yesterday’s Demo Day was one for the books! 🎉 We're excited to share the video of our presentation: lnkd.in/eUtfppDD Our deepest appreciation to the entire Google.org team for this incredible opportunity and their immense support!

🎦 Demo Day is here! We’re excited to be pitching at Google.org Accelerator: Generative AI Demo Day. Join us live ➡️ : www.youtube.com/live/3w5c2_0...

One of the Plotline’s projects was illustrating AgMIP – Agricultural Model Intercomparison & Improvement Project research on the future of food in Africa. The research behind the app was just published in @natureportfolio.nature.com. 👏 Congrats to the research team! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Did you notice the new look at ClimateTRACE.org? As we’ve added new tools to the platform, coalition members at @earthgenome.org have worked hard to integrate massive amounts of data while presenting it in a visually compelling, clear way.
