Projects

2023

A directory of terms for those learning about climate change. Slowly being translated into other languages.

2022

As a part of the web of life, humans affect the ecosystems around us. With many of Earth’s natural systems at tipping points from climate change, there is a need for greater access to climate data- and modernization of how we use it. To easily share the most cutting-edge climate data, we created a REST API for Carbon, Nitrous Oxide, and Sulfur Hexafluoride emissions (all super important greenhouse gases).

We will continue to add data sets and better tools for visualizing the data through explorable examples. If you want to contribute to this project, reach us at earthapi@anthropogenic.com, follow us on Twitter, or follow our change logs.

Earth API is the first project from Anthropogenic- a company dedicated to building platforms and data products to accelerate global decarbonization.
