Sensors are already generating mountains of data: Drones follow monkeys to track malaria outbreaks; robots capture round-the-clock information from the ocean floor; rickshaw-mounted sensors measure air pollution on the streets of New Delhi; citizens track radiation in Japan with handheld Geiger counters. How can we turn all this data into environmental solutions?

Click below for a discussion of what’s on the horizon, the challenges of making sense of multiple streams of data, and how to turn that data into useful knowledge that can improve our health and the environment.
