Eyeclimate
Wildebeest on the savanna

Bringing clarity to a changing planet.

We build AI tools that turn raw Earth observation data into actionable insights. We help cities, operators, and communities make faster, fairer, and science-backed climate decisions.

Our story

Eyeclimate began as a PhD research question at UCSB:

“Can we actually see climate pollution and risk, not just model it?”

That question turned into prototypes, then field-tested tools, and eventually a company. In 2024, our core R&D moved to Stanford, expanding our work from methane detection to air quality intelligence and wildlife monitoring.

Today, Eyeclimate unites university research, rigorous science, and real-world impact — building products that help cities breathe cleaner air, operators reduce emissions, and ecosystems thrive.

Our values

What allows us to succeed and work better together.

Science First

Every product is grounded in transparent, peer-reviewed methods.

Collaboration

Climate solutions require networks, not silos.

Integrity & Openness

We prioritize traceable data and trustworthy results.

Impact Over Hype

We build tools that work in the real world, not marketing slides.

Meet our team

We are engineers, scientists, and researchers with backgrounds in remote sensing, AI, climate science, and environmental monitoring.

What we believe in...

Climate intelligence should be accessible, explainable, and actionable. We bridge the gap between research and reality — turning unsolved problems into peer-reviewed research, and research into usable products.
