Visualizing Energy

Visualizing Energy is a new data-driven, online resource that communicates scientific information about the link between sustainable energy and human well-being to decision-makers, media, companies, advocates, educators, and the public. The project is supported by the Institute for Global Sustainability (IGS) at Boston University.  The project’s founder and co-Director is Dr. Cutler J. Cleveland, a Professor in the Department of Earth and Environment. He is joined by co-Director Dr. Heather Clifford, who also serves as the Chief Data Scientist.

Visualizing Energy knits data analysis, visualizations, and the written word into stories that reveal how our energy system can be transformed to reduce inequity, steer humanity from climate disaster, improve health and other social outcomes, and lead to healthy natural systems. Visualizing Energy is a public good; its motivations and methods are transparent, and its data products are freely available to all.
