Crack open the
living world.
Biome is an environmental science platform where satellite imagery meets soil chemistry and you trace the path of a single water molecule from glacier to ocean to cloud. Built for career-switchers, biology majors, and NGO staffers who need climate fluency before their next grant cycle.
What draws you to the environment?
Choose your primary domain of curiosity.
terrestrial ecosystems have been significantly altered by human activity since 1950.
That number is still rising. But the scientists, analysts, and field researchers who understand living systems are the ones who can reverse it. The question is whether you're one of them yet.
Watch a hillside breathe back to life.
Drag the slider to advance through decades of ecological succession. This is what Biome lessons look like — satellite data, field chemistry, and living systems in motion.
Industrial logging has stripped the hillside bare. Exposed soil erodes with each rainfall, carrying nutrients into streams and raising turbidity.
Scientists who've stood
in the field.
Every instructor has primary field research experience. No armchair theorists — only people who've held the soil, measured the water, and read the atmosphere firsthand.

I came into Biome as a communications officer who could barely read a NDVI map. Eight weeks later I was presenting soil carbon data to our board and citing primary literature. The interactive simulations didn't teach me about ecosystems — they made me think like an ecosystem.
