Community Web Platform

Our community platform connects people, projects, places, and research. Built on a structured database, it can serve as a field notebook, photo bucket, a lab webpage, and a place to share project updates, and more. Each contribution adds to a growing archive of activities and learning.

A shared archive of project data and insights

Discover and contribute

  • Projects: Members can create project webs, organized like chapters, that connect people, places, and photographs in the database to tell a project’s story. Share your project.

  • Insights: Record observations, connect evidence to people and places, and organize ideas with tags. Choose what to share or keep private, and reflect together through discussion threads. Draft an insight.

  • Photos and albums: Members can share field snapshots and photo-monitoring records that capture the arc of change.

  • Data archive: The platform supports file uploads on project pages as well as ingestion of structured data. Contact us to discuss how the platform can support your data needs.

  • Teams: Privately share data and insight threads, and collaborate on project webs. Set up a team.
