The role of digital technologies in understanding, mitigating and adapting to environmental change

While cities have capitalised on the internet of things (IoT) and cloud computing to change the ways urbanites live and work, there has been little capitalisation on the natural world. This fellowship will aim to discover new ways of enabling the countryside to reap the benefits of the digital age. It will focus on three major areas of digital innovation ¨C the IoT, cloud computing and data science ¨C and examine how digital data can inform land management, support food security and tackle biodiversity loss. ¡°Technology¡¯s...role in managing environmental change is significantly under-developed,¡± says Gordon Blair, distinguished professor of distributed systems at Lancaster University. ¡°For example, the internet of things has the potential to provide rich, real-time data for the natural environment at a scale previously unimaginable. Science has a crucial role in interpreting the torrent of complex information we can now capture, but to do this science has to change.¡±
