The ESIIL Macrophenology working group tackles questions around how plant phenology influences a species’ ability to persist in different locations in the face of climate change or how native vs. invasive plants may respond to climate change differently.

We present an integrative framework for detecting and characterising these ecosystem engineering across three axes: the relationship between an engineer species and its environment, between the engineer and other populations in the community, and among those other populations as mediated by the engineered environment.

The ESIIL Modeling Extreme Wildfire working group discusses their work to improve representation of extreme wildfire events in forecasting tools.

This presentation examines the relatively uncharted discipline of fungal dispersal ecology. Will explore different methodologies to examine fungal dispersal including traits, leveraging global eDNA datasets, and LLMs.

AI for Sustainability: Translating Environmental Data into Decisions

Join us for flash talks by members of ESIIL's EnviroLLM working group.

Evaluating phenology is fundamental to understanding the ecological strategies of trees in tropical dry ecosystems (TDEs), yet most previous work simply places species in coarse categories, such as evergreen versus deciduous.

Global Urban Biological Invasion Compendium: Synthesizing Global Data to Understand Urban Biodiversity

Join us for an in-person hackathon at the University of Colorado Boulder (in the SEEC building) on Tuesday, January 27th to learn how to use AI/ML tools on the CyVerse platform to predict biological, ecological, and environmental data. The event will provide an introduction to the NSF Harnessing the Data Revolution (HDR) Machine Learning Challenge, including a venue to form a team and get started ...

Join us at AGU 2025

Join ESIIL for an in-person hackathon as part of the NSF Harnessing the Data Revolution (HDR) Machine Learning Challenge!

Join us at ESIIL's virtual networking event to connect with others interested in tackling scientific questions that advance environmental data science through ESIIL Working Groups. Whether you are looking for collaborators to join your proposal, or would like to contribute to a working group, this event is for you.

Are you curious about ESIIL working groups or have questions about the Request for Proposals? Join us for an information session!

The 2025 ESIIL Innovation Summit will focus on environmental tipping points and transformations, bringing together scientists, managers, data analysts, and other thought leaders to address environmental challenges.

Earth Lab & ESIIL Team Members will be at the 2025 Ecological Society of America annual meeting.

We need to leverage the wealth of data on fire to develop resilience solutions, such as burning better and building better.

This event is a hybrid format: university affiliates may attend in-person (SEEC 372A&B), and the general public may attend remotely via Zoom. Join our EDS Seminar mailing list to receive the zoom link & calendar invite.
