Studying Singapore'sclimate, environment,and future.
A non-profit research institute in Singapore, studying the climate we live in, the environment around us, and the decades ahead.
Research pillars
Six landscapes. One island.
Each programme answers a question Singapore's policymakers, scientists, and communities are already asking, with research that reaches the field, not just the page.
Marine science
Coral resilience for the Southern Islands
More than a decade of hyperspectral surveys across Singapore's Southern reefs, studying coral cover, species composition, and the slow, beautiful, fragile ways our reefs are changing.
- Reef sites monitored
- 63
- Hectares mapped
- 1,240
Climate equity
Urban heat, neighbourhood by neighbourhood
A continuous, neighbourhood-scale study of Singapore's heat, drawing on 9,400 IoT sensors and Sentinel-3 thermals to understand how the city warms, and where the next park, awning or louvre will matter most.
- Streets mapped
- 100%
- °C avg cooling delivered
- −2.1
Biodiversity
Listening to the rainforest
Continuous bioacoustic listening across Bukit Timah and the Central Catchment, studying 312 native species and quietly following the pangolins, hornbills and slow lorises that share the island with us.
- Species identified
- 312
- Recording hours / week
- 4,800
Blue carbon
Mangroves & the carbon coastline
LiDAR-led mapping of every mangrove in Singapore, measuring above and below-ground biomass, the carbon they hold, and the coastline they quietly defend.
- ha mapped
- 812
- tCO₂e verified
- 146k
Water quality
Clean water for a tropical island
A continuous study of every reservoir, canal and stream on the island, tracking algal blooms, sediment plumes and pollution sources so the water we drink, swim in and live around stays clean.
- Catchments observed
- 17
- Sample resolution
- 10 m
Atmosphere
Air pollution at the postal-code scale
Satellite imagery, low-cost sensors and traffic data, together, studying the air street by street, so every household has clarity instead of a city-wide average.
- Postal codes covered
- 8,200
- Pollutants tracked
- 9
Field impact · 2025–2026
Numbers that walk out of the lab and into the city.
We measure ourselves by what changes outside the lab: cleaner air, cleaner water, cooler streets, reefs that spawn.
- 146,800
- Tonnes CO₂e mapped & verified
- 63
- Reefs under continuous AI watch
- −2.1°C
- Avg. neighbourhood cooling
- 312
- Native species acoustically tracked
- 8,200
- Postal codes mapped for clean air & water
- 100%
- Open methods, datasets & weights
Areas of study
Everything connected. Studied carefully.
From the canopy to the coastline, the air to the aquifer, the tropics are a single, intricate system. We try to understand them in that spirit.
An institute that listens before it speaks.
The decade ahead
Singapore is small enough to get this right, ambitious enough to lead.
We are building the most loved environmental research institute in the tropics. The next decade is being decided now.
