Data for Sustainability Conference 2023

Main content start

Data for Sustainability Conference (D4SC)

Date: April 14, 2023
Location: Stanford University, Gates 403B (Fujitsu Lounge)

The earth is facing numerous environmental sustainability issues that require urgent action. Meanwhile, the earth's environment is constantly monitored and simulated, generating tons of data across various scales. Utilizing those data can assist decision-making to preserve our planet's future. 

Stanford Data Science is planning a half-day conference focusing on using data to resolve sustainability issues and gather the Data Science and Sustainability communities together on campus.

Congratulations on winners of speaker awards

  • Best Student Presentation Awards: Emma Krasovich Southworth (1st place) and Charlie Marx (2nd place)
  • Best Postdoc Presentation Awards: Camille Pagniello (1st place) and Zack Kaufman (2nd place)
