About

The ECOresearch network brings together scientists of different disciplines to explore the design and evaluation of new media applications that advocate sustainability and the protection of natural ecosystems. This page complements the technology section by introducing the participating researchers and outlining the system's technical specifications. Please use the message board to suggest special reports, additional features, or Web sites to include in the media and non-profit samples. You can also contact us by e-mailing info@ecoresearch.net. We look forward to your feeback!
