Developing appropriate systems for acquiring, managing and delivering diverse environmental data is essential for tackling global environmental challenges. We seek new technologies from diverse disciplines and domains to address the technical challenges of acquiring and integrating diverse sources of data from high resolution sensors, Earth Observation, ground and drone surveys, and citizen science. This includes harnessing machine learning techniques for automated quality control, delivering data streams with in-built provenance to underpin scientific reproducibility, and designing collaborative research environments to support the storage and processing of this complex, heterogeneous data
