myObservatory is first and foremost an environmental information management system. Originally designed for agricultural use, it is useful with virtually any type of data. It does this by combining Geographic Information System (GIS) tools with data management and visualization tools.
The Vision

The Tools
|
myObservatory is used in university ecology curriculum. Independent researchers use myObservatory as a scalable cyber-infrastructure for their research. It is used by farmers to track information about livestock grazing and land responses to innovative land practices. In short, myObservatory provides the framework and structure to enable a method of investigation into your place of interest, suitable for use in both private and public sectors, both small and large. myObservatory helps you observe and learn about the place that means the most to you: your place.
There are two possible paths: sign up for a trial of a single project account, or find out more about our enterprise solutions for advanced customization or multiple projects.

Experimental methodology and data is rigorously recorded using the myObservatory data management system to enable sharing of findings with collaborators that include land managers, scientists, and policy makers. 
Data is collected using mobile-optimized web sites and a native iOS application, feeding directly into myObservatory where data can be viewed on a map and analyzed in further detail, making it easy to locate problem areas or areas needing remediation.
myObservatory gives us a place to store our data, so it doesn't get lost after our graduate students move on and take USB sticks with them. Safe long-term storage lets us sleep well at night.
