AI for Earth Sciences

Turning complex data into decisions you can trust

Solutions

AI

Our open-source machine learning (ML) building blocks have been in development for decades, powering both our commercial products and broader AI applications. Designed for cloud and edge deployment, they offer transparency, reliability, and performance – recognized with two R&D 100 awards for SmartTensors in 2021.

  • Open-source Scientific AI Framework (SmartTensors)
  • Model Analysis and Decision Support (MADS)
  • Geospatial data management and analyses (GAIA)

Environment

Our work is rooted in the understanding that environmental challenges aren’t abstract – they affect lives, livelihoods, and communities. That’s why our AI toolkits are built to support those on the frontlines of developing climate, air quality, water, and energy solutions.

  • Predict, analyze, and contain contamination (ChemML)
  • Predict and manage induced seismicity (LAPIS)
  • Subsurface energy production & storage (GeoML)

Energy

From renewable sources such as geothermal, wind, and solar to traditional sources such as oil & gas, we have AI methods and tools to address your project needs. We have developed several AI products to address these challenges related to energy production, storage, and utilization.

  • Geothermal development (GeoTGo)
  • Oil & gas production (PetroAI)
  • Water, energy, and food security nexus (WEFx)

Meet Our

Team

Our scientists are artists, and our artists are scientists.

We pride ourselves on our ability to bring together the best of both worlds to create products that are beautiful and functional, with an understanding of the impact they have on the cultures in which they are used.

Our technology development is led by our co-founder and CTO, Dr. Velimir Vesselinov. He has over 40 years of theoretical and practical experience, including 23 years as a scientist at the Los Alamos National Laboratory, New Mexico. He has been the Principal Investigator (PI) of a series of multi-million, multi-institution, and multi-year projects. He has developed more than 20 different software products. One of his AI products received 2 R&D100 awards.

Tracy Kliphuis is the other co-founder and CEO of the company. She has over 20 years of experience managing various environmental programs and projects for the State of New Mexico. She is the PI of several of our current projects.

Our company also includes recognized PhD scientists and experts with extensive publication records and internationally recognized expertise (including publications, presentations & lectures, awards, patents and invention disclosures).

EnviTrace Introduction

EnviTrace CEO Wins Women in Tech Award

Our work happens in

Communities

We aim to never lose sight of the fact that our work is intricately connected to people and places.

Community

Environmental and Energy

Environmental and energy justice are interconnected concepts that focus on fairness in how environmental burdens and benefits are distributed. We are committed to promoting environmental and energy justice. This pursuit requires: (1) Community engagement: Meaningful participation of impacted communities in decision-making processes. (2) Policy solutions: Government policies that address environmental racism, promote clean energy access, and ensure a just transition for all. (3) Public awareness: Raising awareness about these issues and mobilizing support for the proposed solutions. By working towards environmental and energy justice, we can create a more equitable and sustainable future for all.

Education and Outreach

Our company is committed to providing educational, outreach, and business opportunities to underprivileged and underrepresented communities. We are working to develop educational programs and materials that are accessible to a wide range of learners. Our strategies and activities include workshops, webinars, videos, public events and campaigns, brochures, fact sheets, interactive learning, citizen science projects, and educational materials designed to engage and educate diverse audiences. We are building partnerships with minority-serving schools, universities, and community organizations to expand our reach and impact.

Software and Data

Our company develops and maintains both open-source and proprietary software and data. We believe that open-source software and data are essential for the scientific research community. Especially in the field of AI, where this is crucial for the development of new methods and the validation of existing ones. The AI building blocks are open source also to provide transparency and acceptability. Our commercial software is built on top of these open-source building blocks. Demonstrative examples, test cases, and results are available to the public to ensure the reproducibility of our work. We also provide detailed documentation and tutorials to help users understand and apply our software and data.

Land Acknowledgement

Our company acknowledges that the place now called Santa Fe, where our office is located, sits on unceded ancestral Tewa Land and is still recognized as O'gha Po'oge, meaning White Shell Water Place. We recognize that this land is just one piece of a larger, boundless terrain for Indigenous peoples that include the Nambe Pueblo, the Tewa, and the Jicarilla Apache. O'gha Po'oge was once a thriving Pueblo village, and their descendants include the modern-day Tewa people who still live in Santa Fe and the nearby Pueblos of Nambe, Pojoaque, San Ildefonso, Ohkay Owingeh, Santa Clara, and Tesuque. We also recognize the violence, displacement, migration, and colonization that haunt this place. We all are now stewards of this land, responsible for the care of water, air, and each other. Our company pledges to donate a percentage of the profit from our commercial services developed under our R&D projects to a local non-profit organization supporting the education of Native American students.
