 I research how data technologies inform environmental governance. New kinds of data-generating sensors and data-synthesizing algorithms are becoming central to everyday life and may prove transformational in policy too. A key challenge for geographers in the coming years is assessing these technologies’ promise to help society solve sustainability issues related to food security, climate change adaptation, and ecosystem services conservation. This will be done by understanding their human dimensions - their design, use, maintenance, and effects on society - alongside other governance trends such as marketization and metrification. It will involve understanding how these data systems came to be but also experimenting with them towards more just and equitable ends.
 
-My work contributes to the field of political ecology and is currently supported by SSHRC funding. I teach undergraduate courses in nature-society geography and mapping as well as graduate courses in research methods and in Guelph's Master of Conservation Leadership program. I serve on the coordinating committee of the [Environmental Data and Governance Initiative](https://www.envirodatagov.org) (EDGI), where we [bring people together to analyze publicly available socio-environmental data](https://www.environmentalenforcementwatch.org/) and track the portrayal of climate change issues on the web.

 ## Projects
 * [Digital Conservation](https://ericnost.github.io/digitalconservation) - Big data and related data collection tools such as acoustic
 sensors; machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms; dashboards and platforms for sharing data – these all constitute “digital conservation.” Digital technologies have the potential to make conservation more holistic, responsive, and participatory. However, we hear a lot about the promises of digital conservation and less about the challenges. Is access to digital conservation democratic? Are outcomes lining up with expectations? In general, what do conservationists actually think about and do with digital tools?
 * [Environmental Enforcement Watch (EEW)](https://www.environmentalenforcementwatch.org/) - EEW is a collaborative project engaging with the Environmental Protection Agency’s Enforcement and Compliance History Online (ECHO) database and to: draw large-scale public attention to the lack of environmental enforcement; work with partner organizations, especially marginalized communities, to build data efficacy through mutually beneficial relationships; inform EPA visions of alternative forms of public engagement; prototype community-oriented structures for environmental data, i.e. by congressional district, watershed, and health risks for a community; call attention to the relationship between environmental enforcement, environmental racism, and other interlocking forms of oppression (particularly white supremacy, capitalism, settler-colonialism, heteropatriarchy, etc.)
-* [Public Political Ecologies of Data (PPED)]() - This project is inspired by Tracey Osborne’s (2017) notion of public political ecology (PPE) and that of political ecology of data (Nost and Goldstein 2021). PPE emphasizes praxis towards socio-environmental justice in research as well as teaching. It aims to reach a variety of audiences with theoretically-informed accessible analysis of environmental politics and change in order to shift common sense. A PPE of data in turn prioritizes collective forms of theory-driven experiments that offer concrete political interventions around how data is enmeshed in place-specific environmental contexts as well as its implications for land managers, resource users, and frontline communities.
 
 ## Recruitment
 I’m excited to hear from prospective grad students who are curious about the role data technologies play in environmental governance. Types of projects we might collaborate on include:

 ### Data governance and infrastructure
 Environmental governance actors - states, corporations, conservation groups, farmers, and so on - struggle to get the information they want. There's more and more data out there every day, but it's often siloed. Even when it's available, it's not necessarily relevant and there typically isn't the time or money to make sense of it. Governing nature, it turns out, means governing data. Who collects environmental data and manages environmental databases, and who pays for it all? These questions tend to crystallize in data infrastructures.
