Our partners and their applications of our App and API help to shape our development and inform our direction.
If you are interested in working with us, contact us today.
NOAA NIDIS
NOAA’s National Integrated Drought Information System (NIDIS) is a primary partner of ClimateEngine.org by funding the initiative and using our API to create drought datasets disseminated through Drought.gov.
Bureau of Land Management
The US Bureau of Land Management has supported ClimateEngine.org since its inception, alongside other Earth observations data initiatives, and uses vegetation and drought data to support rangeland monitoring.
Navajo Nation
Water is an integral part of life for the Navajo Nation. However, as a result of the increased droughts, a detailed local tool was required to assist in water management. In 2020, ClimateEngine.org partnered with the Navajo Nation to release the Drought Severity Evaluation Tool (DSET).
US Geological Survey
The US Geological Survey (USGS) partnered with ClimateEngine.org to develop methods for evaluating the effectiveness of riparian vegetation restoration using satellite vegetation data and drought and precipitation data. Their methods are now available for users of the Climate Engine App, which we highlighted in this video.

PROSPER is an empirical model developed to predict if and where streams in the Pacific Northwest will cease to flow in any given year. The PROSPER app relies on the Climate Engine API to perform analysis on the modeled data and to pull in ancillary climate and satellite data.
US Forest Service
The US Forest Service (USFS) relies on datasets and functionality available in the Climate Engine App to monitor forest resources, meadows, snowpack, drought, climate change, and more. In particular, the App is being used by the Pacific Southwest Region as part of their Meadow Assessment Protocol.
ClimateEngine.org was launched with support from Google’s Geo for Good initiative in 2014 and Google remains an essential partner. Google Earth Engine provides the computing for the Climate Engine App and API and our resources, in turn, make Earth observations and climate data accessible to researchers and resource managers.
In 2023, the Desert Research Institute was recognized as an inaugural recipient of the Google Geo for Good Impact Award for its work on ClimateEngine.org.
