BlueGreen Labs

BlueGreen open science labs & consulting: environmental research infrastructure to address climate change through data driven methods

The BlueGreen labs open-science resources provide free tools to manage, access and model environmental data. Projects consist of output of formal research lines, software and hardware implementations through which BlueGreen tries to give back to the open-source scientific community. Below you find a short list with links to our most popular projects. BlueGreen Labs functions as a software steward for the listed projects. As such, BlueGreen Labs does not monetize any of the projects below.

If you find anything missing, a software bug or want to add documentation we refer to our contribution guidelines. Please be mindfull of our code of conduct and consultancy policy within the context of open source software development. Our time and expertise is valuable, to quickly pick our brains, problem-solving, validation and insights please book an appointment. To stay up to date please follow us on LinkedIn.
