We turn environmental science into action by connecting world-class technical talent with researchers and communities, building open tools and networks that make data equitable, transparent, and impossible to ignore.

What We Do

We help researchers turn complex datasets into actionable insights through scalable data workflows and interactive tools.

  • Design communications campaigns and products to drive data impact and engage stakeholders.
  • Migrate researchers to industry-standard architectures, where long-term support is easier to maintain.
  • Advise researchers on the latest developments in AI and help them navigate changing funding landscapes.
  • Develop systems for open and accessible data.

We bring the speed and polish of private-sector software to the world of environmental research. We specialize in open-source geospatial tools and understand the real-world needs of scientists and policy analysts.

What Our Partners Say

We highly recommend Whitecap Geospatial. They took millions of lines of geospatial data on the impact of sea level rise on coastal communities and turned it into a user friendly, rapid rendering, attractive, user friendly, animated visualization.

The visualization portal has become an essential planning and management tool for the state, an outreach website for the public and a way for us to promote the importance of our marine monitoring and modeling program. It has also led to additional funding to expand the scope of the portal.

The team at Whitecap Geospatial has been engaged throughout the process and made the whole process fun and efficient. They also produced a product we would never have been able to. This experience has completely changed the way I think about science communication.
