We believe complex problems can be solved when we listen to the science, when nuance is embraced. It’s our best shot at contributing to sustainable human growth and environmental conservation.
Plume Labs is AccuWeather’s center for world-class environmental data, machine learning, and scientific expertise. Our mission is simple: to turn information into action. We make data lively, accessible, and useful. Then we partner with like-minded organizations to apply that data in bold and innovative ways to fight climate change. The goal is three-pronged.
Education & Awareness
Data edifies. From emergency alerts to after-school science programs, the right information at the right time can start critical conversations and open minds.
Research & Understanding
Data connects. Environmental data builds bridges between disciplines and has numerous applications, including cancer outcomes, player performance, workplace safety, and urban planning.
Action & Engagement
Data galvanizes. When it comes to heating homes, regulating transportation, improving our extreme weather warning-systems, and more, we inspire meaningful change.
A Framework for Collaboration
