Abstract
Can data help us understand and mitigate sustainability and vulnerability challenges? Can these data can spur exploration of new questions and hypotheses, particularly across traditionally disparate disciplines, and offer unprecedented opportunities for discovery and innovation? In this talk, Dr. Pallickara will describe an NSF-funded multi-institution effort that he leads, Sustain. Crucially, analytics capabilities within Sustain are accessible via a browser, allowing researchers to formulate hypotheses and explore multiple dimensions of vulnerability and sustainability that crosscut diverse domains and spatiotemporal scopes.
