WHAT OUR PARTNERS SAY
What our partners have to say:
“By partnering with Adventure Scientists and engaging the outdoor community I have access to previously unobtainable data, which has propelled my research in plastic pollution to the forefront of the field.”
ABBY BARROWS, COLLEGE OF THE ATLANTIC
“Adventure Scientists connects us as a coral colony to collaborate and further build our coral reef conservation network.”
“Adventure Scientists’ ability to seamlessly manage diverse volunteers and collect quality data in a challenging environment allowed me to focus on management implications. I highly recommend working with them.”
“[Adventure Scientists] was crucial in conducting the Olympic National Forest’s winter marten surveys, and this season’s work would not have been such a success without their efforts.”
DATA QUALITY
High-quality data from nearly anywhere at any scale
Our experience in project planning and management has taught us how to overcome perceived or actual issues with data quality and bias associated with many citizen science efforts. Each project begins with our design and feasibility study. During this process, we conduct thorough research to ensure that we collect the right kind and amount of data to ensure that your end goals are met.
ADDITIONAL WAYS WE PARTNER
Technology audit
We make recommendations about the best field collection technologies available. Whether it’s drones, sensors, camera traps, or machine learning, we can help design the most time and cost-effective way to get you the data you need.
Media and outreach
Our projects have been featured across hundreds of national and international news outlets. Our communications team will help elevate your work across earned and owned media platforms.
Funding assistance
Through our own fundraising, we meet people who are interested in our partners and projects. We provide connections and make introductions whenever they make sense.

What’s Your Data Dream?
If you could get data from anywhere in the world at any scale, what could you do? Watch this video to hear how wildlife biologist Betsy Howell, microbiologist Dr. Rusty Rodriguez, and disease ecologist Dr. Michael Gilmore partnered with Adventure Scientists to hunt for an elusive species, increase crop yields on farms impacted by climate change, and help identify the genes responsible for antibiotic resistance.
OUR PROJECT SELECTION CRITERIA
We are selective about the projects in which we invest. This ensures we’re meeting our mission to advance critical environmental research.
Our criteria are:
The project must address an environmental issue to which advancing a solution has previously been data-limited.
There must be a clear pathway from data collection to lasting impact.
There must be a clear need for outdoor or traditional skills to collect the data.
