About Us

Computing for the Environment (CS4Env) at the University of Washington supports novel collaborations across the broad fields of environmental sciences and computer science & engineering. We seek to catalyze new efforts, create a community of cross-disciplinary researchers, and position teams to be competitive for additional funding opportunities. The initiative engages environmental scientists and engineers, computer scientists and engineers, and data scientists in using advanced technologies, methodologies and computing resources to accelerate research that addresses pressing societal challenges related to climate change, pollution, biodiversity and more.

Call for Proposals:
Computing for Ocean Health

We are excited to announce a call for proposals on the topic of computing for ocean health. We invite members of the CS4Env and broader UW community to submit proposals for gift funds of up to $50,000 for projects of 12 months in duration. Strong proposals should include a core focus on topics related to ocean health as well as computing methods (including data science, AI, etc). The deadline is Monday, March 3rd, 2025.
