Our science network is building multi modal data integration and shared computational resources to better model solutions for climate adaptation, biodiversity and regeneration strategies.\n\n*Let’s Defeat Moloch!* Today we face the global coordination failure of protecting our life support systems. The planet is one interconnected environmental system, yet our data models are not. This systemic issue has led to a waste of investment into ineffective solutions and a mystified \"sustainable\" asset class that poorly represents the realities of our Earth (Carbon, Biodiversity, SDG;s etc).\n\nWe are creating unified, agreed upon tools and standards to facilitate coordination. This infrastructure empowers the development of advanced predictive environmental models that can compute the complexity of our natural systems. \n\n## ÆRTH is the Kaggle for environmental science, reimagined with blockchain technology.\n\nBlockchain enables secure data sharing with clear ownership tracking and usage metrics. This unified standard allows global researchers and ML scientists to compute over previously siloed data, building advanced models through competitions.
