The DSE (https://dse.berkeley.edu/) was founded in 2022 with a mission to develop data-enabled solutions to our most pressing environmental challenges. In the last year, we have hired and onboarded a talented staff team, narrowed on in five core projects, and began developing user-centered applications that meet specific identified needs.

We look forward to sharing an introduction to where we are now, our projects work with Co-Design of Technology for Tribal Environmental Stewardship, Unlocking Regenerative Agriculture Practices at Scale, Solving the Snow Problem with Remotely Sensed Data, Ending Plastic Pollution Forever, and National Park Service Climate Change Decision Support. And, lastly, we'll also share additional plans for the future and where we'd love to further engage with ESPM students, faculty, and staff.
