Enabling NAIP Data
Developing Markets for Recycled Materials
CHALLENGE
Develop innovative digital solutions that connect domestic recycling facilities with manufacturers to enhance recycling markets and increase the use of recycled materials.
Reducing Plastic Pollution in Oceans
CHALLENGE
Create open data sets and engaging digital tools that complement existing citizen science plastics data, to help the public understand the amount of plastic on local beaches and in the ocean, where such plastic comes from, and actions that can be taken to alleviate the problem.
Increasing Awareness of Transportation Emissions' Effects on Air Quality
CHALLENGE
Create tools to help communities understand how transportation-caused pollution contributes to emissions, local air quality, and health, as well as the actions available to lessen these impacts.
Aiding Agricultural Decision-Making
CHALLENGE
Create digital tools that provide farmers, ranchers, and researchers with timely access to National Agriculture Imagery Program (NAIP) data to help them make important agricultural and planning decisions.

A cleaned, curated and interoperable global plastics pollution dataset.The Earth Challenge team has combined all available data from the National Atmospheric Administrations Marine Debris Monitoring and Assesment Project (MDMAP) accumulation report, Ocean Convervancy's TIDES Coastal Clean Up data, and the European Environmental Agencies Marine Litter Watch (MLW) data sets. All datasets were mapped to a common schema and quality control methods were implemented for ease of re-use. Data was collected from 2015 -2018.
