数字技术正在对社会的许多领域产生重大影响，对科学的影响也是平等的。这在环境科学中尤其如此，因为我们试图了解气候变化下自然环境的复杂性。这一观点展示了该领域峰会的成果，这是一次独特的跨学科聚会，汇集了环境科学家、数据科学家、计算机科学家、社会科学家和创意艺术的代表。这次研讨会的主要成果是以框架和相关路线图的形式商定的愿景，载于《温德米尔协议》。该协议设想了一种以前所未有的数据量为基础的新型环境科学，技术进步导致在驯服不确定性和复杂性方面取得突破，并支持科学的开放性、透明度和重复性。这一前景还包括呼吁建立一个在这一重要领域工作的国际社会。数字技术正在对社会的许多领域产生重大影响，在应对重大科学挑战方面，对科学产生影响的机会是平等的。这在环境科学中尤其如此，因为我们试图了解气候变化下自然环境的复杂性。本视角报告了该领域首脑会议的成果，42名研究人员被选为在数字技术和环境科学之间的界面上工作的主要专家。这次研讨会的主要成果是温德米尔协议，这是一份集体声明，围绕着基于四个关键调查支柱的数字技术实现变革性效果所需的内容，即使用技术驯服不确定性；不断壮大的倡导者和倡导者，以支持、赋权和影响；拥抱公开和透明的新科学风格；以及使复杂环境系统中的反馈能够进行整合和复杂的处理。这些支柱都为决策过程提供了支持，并得到了越来越多的社区的支持。展望未来，该协议还确定了一条特别强调建立国际跨学科社区的道路，以应对关键挑战，并围绕数字技术和环境实现真正的机遇。这一观点展示了关于数字技术如何帮助我们应对环境变化的重大挑战的峰会的成果。由此产生的温德米尔协议包含一个框架和相关的路线图，设想了一种以前所未有的数据量为基础的新型环境科学，技术进步导致在驯服不确定性和复杂性方面取得突破，并支持科学的开放性、透明度和重复性。
Digital technology is having a major impact on many areas of society, and there is equal opportunity for impact on science. This is particularly true in the environmental sciences as we seek to understand the complexities of the natural environment under climate change. This perspective presents the outcomes of a summit in this area, a unique cross-disciplinary gathering bringing together environmental scientists, data scientists, computer scientists, social scientists, and representatives of the creative arts. The key output of this workshop is an agreed vision in the form of a framework and associated roadmap, captured in the Windermere Accord. This accord envisions a new kind of environmental science underpinned by unprecedented amounts of data, with technological advances leading to breakthroughs in taming uncertainty and complexity, and also supporting openness, transparency, and reproducibility in science. The perspective also includes a call to build an international community working in this important area. Digital technology is having a major impact on many areas of society, and there is equal opportunity for impact on science in addressing grand scientific challenges. This is particularly true in the environmental sciences as we seek to understand the complexities of the natural environment under climate change. This perspective reports on the outcomes from a summit in this area, attended by 42 researchers selected as leading experts operating at the interface between digital technology and the environmental sciences. The key output of this workshop was the Windermere Accord, a collective statement around what is required to achieve a transformative effect through digital technology based around four key pillars of investigation, namely using technology to tame uncertainty; growing advocates and champions to enable, empower, and influence; embracing a new open and transparent style of science; and enabling integration and sophisticated treatment of feedbacks in complex environmental systems. These pillars all feed into the decision-making processes and are supported by a growing community. Looking forward, the accord also identified a pathway with particular emphasis on building an international, cross-disciplinary community to address the key challenges and achieve the real opportunities around digital technology and the environment. This perspective presents the outputs of a summit in the area of how digital technology can help us respond to the grand challenges of environmental change. The resultant Windermere Accord contains a framework and associated roadmap, envisioning a new kind of environmental science underpinned by unprecedented amounts of data, with technological advances leading to breakthroughs in taming uncertainty and complexity, and also supporting openness, transparency, and reproducibility in science.
