The Tethys Geoscience Foundation supports the Tethys Platform, providing an accessible, flexible, and powerful toolset that empowers researchers, educators, and organizations in the geosciences to develop custom applications for real-world problem-solving.

The Tethys Geoscience Foundation creates connections that drive innovations in Earth science. Our growing community unites scientists across geoscience disciplines. Through participation and resource sharing, members help each other overcome technical challenges, share insights, and build solutions that matter.

The Tethys Platform bridges the gap between raw data and meaningful insights, accelerating the discovery process and enabling users to unlock the full potential of their geoscience data for a deeper understanding of Earth’s processes.

As an advocate for transparency and accessibility, we proudly support open-source development. The Tethys Platform invites contributions from the global community, ensuring continuous innovation and broad access to cutting-edge geoscience tools.

By supporting the creation of applications tailored to specific geoscience needs, the Tethys Geoscience Foundation empowers users to solve complex problems, making informed decisions in areas such as natural disaster response, environmental monitoring, and resource management.

Our mission is to enhance the geoscience community’s ability to address environmental challenges. Through the development of tools and applications, we aim to support sustainable policies and practices that protect our planet’s resources for future generations.

  • Lake Management in the Digital Age

    Lake ecosystems face mounting pressures from population growth, agricultural runoff, urban development, and changing weather patterns. These freshwater systems must balance multiple competing demands while maintaining water quality standards that protect both…

  • Real-Time Weather Risk Assessment

    Extreme weather events can develop rapidly, leaving communities with limited time to prepare for potentially dangerous conditions. Many weather forecasting focuses primarily on general conditions, but emergency management requires specific information about…

  • How Open Source Accelerates Earth Science

    Innovation in Earth science has often followed a similar pattern: researchers working in isolation, publishing findings in academic journals, and hoping their work eventually influences practice.  This model, while valuable for advancing…
