EarthLinks bridges the gap between Earth Observation Data and social science research

Researchers from GESIS – Leibniz Institute for the Social Sciences and members of the Leibniz Research Network "Earth & Societies" have successfully applied for the NFDI4Earth 3rd Cohort of Pilots.

The project “EarthLinks” bridges the gap between Earth Observation Data and social science research by creating an open-source, user-friendly tool for integrating time- and space-sensitive datasets. The R Shiny-based application simplifies data linking and analysis without requiring programming skills, empowering researchers to explore new inter- and transdisciplinary avenues. By adhering to FAIR principles and providing comprehensive tutorials, EarthLinks fosters collaboration between social sciences and Earth system sciences, opening pathways to innovative research on environmental and societal dynamics.
