At the Hakai Institute, we take pride in our ability to integrate technology with our scientific capabilities and those of our partners. The ingenuity and diverse skills of our staff and affiliates allow us to tackle challenging applications in settings that would deter other organizations.
We draw upon all the resources of the Tula Foundation.

We design, build, and deploy telemetry systems and sensor networks to collect data in real time. On land, we monitor weather, streamflow, water chemistry, and other variables in coastal watersheds. In the ocean, we have deployed autonomous systems that monitor oceanographic variables using surface and subsurface moorings, cabled observatories, and ocean gliders. This allows us to collect information from across the land and seascape, when scientists cannot be physically present.
Our research generates a massive volume of data spanning multiple disciplines. We manage and store these diverse data types so that all research programs can access them. This allows researchers to examine the data in ways that would otherwise not be possible if research were unnecessarily siloed. Through this, we facilitate the non-trivial challenge of processing data into knowledge.
