The Power of Python in Earth Science
—
Earth scientists face a unique challenge of translating complex environmental data into tools that help communities understand our planet. While their expertise lies in understanding Earth’s systems, creating accessible applications to share this knowledge often required web development skills beyond their training. Python has emerged as a bridge between these worlds, allowing scientists to transform…
Tethys Summit 2025: Connecting Earth Science Innovation
—
The Tethys Geoscience Foundation is proud to announce our inaugural Tethys Summit, a two-day event that focuses on innovation and collaboration in the geospatial sciences.In today’s rapidly evolving environmental landscape, bringing together the brightest minds in Earth science has never been more essential. As we face increasingly complex challenges the need for collaborative, accessible solutions…
How Tethys Platform Transforms Water Resource Management
—
n the world of water resource management, the gap between data collection and effective decision-making remains a persistent challenge. Satellites monitor from above, river sensors collect data around the clock, and models predict everything from tomorrow’s streamflow to next year’s drought conditions. Despite this wealth of information, communities often struggle to translate these insights into…
Knowledge Sharing in Action: Best Practices from the Tethys Community
—
Behind every successful environmental application lies something less visible but equally important: knowledge sharing. When developers document their work thoroughly, explain their design choices, and communicate openly about challenges, they multiply the impact of their innovations. In the Tethys community, this culture of shared learning has enabled applications to evolve from local solutions to global…
Supporting Students in Earth Science
—
Environmental data becomes powerful when students can transform it into solutions for real-world challenges. At the Tethys Geoscience Foundation, we’re excited to see how students take scientific information and create applications that make a difference in their communities. These young innovators bring fresh perspectives to environmental problems, often seeing possibilities that more experienced practitioners might…
Data in Use: Transforming Earth Science Information into Action
—
As we celebrate Earth Day, we’re reminded that environmental stewardship requires not just awareness, but informed action. In an age of unprecedented data collection, Earth scientists find themselves facing a paradox. Satellites snap images of our planet. Weather stations never sleep. River sensors constantly monitor water levels. Sophisticated computer models churn out predictions about everything…
Scaling Environmental Applications: Lessons from Regional to National Tools
—
Environmental challenges demand solutions that can grow beyond their original scope. While local environmental solutions often serve as valuable proving grounds for innovative approaches, transforming these regional successes into national or global platforms can be challenging. It isn’t just about adding more data points or users. It’s about thoughtful evolution at every level. Whether you’re…
Taking Measure, Making Progress: Tethys Annual All-Hands Meeting
—
Last Friday, the Tethys Geoscience Foundation team gathered in Fort Collins, Colorado for our annual POSE All-Hands meeting. The day-long session provided valuable in-person collaboration time for team members typically distributed across the United States. The meeting offered an opportunity to reflect on our collective achievements over the past year. We celebrated significant achievements, including…
