How Technology Supports Sustainability Goals
Scientific measurement sensors can generate real-time nature data. Precise temperature, pressure, and light sensors can help computers obtain data. We can use this data to obtain macro insights, learn new ecosystem patterns, and see how shifting variables affect key natural habitats around the world. If this data can be publicly accessed via an API, multiple people would be able to contribute to scientific progress.
Sustainability Education materials travel faster. Online platforms can be used to transfer environmental science courses to the world. With information and courses traveling at high speeds, helpful projects will execute quicker because people will learn the material faster. On this note, technologies including VR/XR are innovating the way we learn and educate people about the environment.
Simulations can help us model ecosystems, and allow us to see how different plant and animal populations affect each other. It takes a lot of observation to model to this kind of information. This process can be facilitated with networks of intelligent cameras.
Search engines help us find agile answers to deep questions. When it comes to doing research and finding reputable sources to answer complex biological and environmental questions, search engines simplify everything. You can find the answers in your pocket. Beware of misinformation… do your research and make sure you use multiple sources.
