UArizona’s NEPAccess team were the only academics invited to the first-ever White House Environmental Permitting Technology and Data Summit.
NEPAccess uses the tools of data science and AI to improve the efficiency, transparency, and accountability of environmental decision-making.
At NEPAccess.org, we created a knowledge, discovery and engagement platform for finding and analyzing decades of applied science and public participation in the NEPA process with seed funding from the NSF RIDIR program (1831551). The beta platform (2021-2024) enabled search, download, and analysis of environmental impact statements (EISs) and other documents created under the US National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA), all in one place.
The project is led by a transdisciplinary team of University of Arizona researchers.
