Computing for sustainability and social development
CoRE Stack: A digital public infrastructure for climate change adaptation for rural communities. The CoRE stack is an open technology stack that brings together multiple landscape-scale datasets and algorithms to understand groundwater stress, biodiversity, land degradation, and agricultural patterns, to equip rural communities with actionable insights and digital tools to maintain their landscapes in a sustainable manner. The stack uses cutting machine learning and computer vision methods applied on satellite and drone data, large scale simulations of hydrology and climate change events, and system modeling of landscape dynamics. The tools are in active deployment and continuous development with a large network of development and ecological restoration organizations that help shape meaningful use-cases for applied and impactful research.
