Lincoln Institute in the @washingtonpost: @MJ_Coren cited our President and CEO @GMacMcCarthy's President’s Messages and @CGS_Earth's analysis in his recent column on America's housing shortage. Read the piece: washingtonpost.com/climate-e…
ALT Screenshot of a Washington Post article titled “Selling public land won’t solve the housing crisis. Here’s what would,” published on July 15, 2025, by Climate Coach Michael J. Coren. The subheadline reads: “Creative solutions to build more affordable housing in the United States can be found in places such as your state and your backyard.” Below the headline is a scenic photo of the sun setting over Tongass National Forest on Prince of Wales Island in Alaska, with forested land, scattered islands, and a calm body of water. The photo is credited to Salwan Georges/The Washington Post.
It’s a big day for our @internetofh2o team: we’re proud to introduce Geoconnex Explorer, a new river data discovery tool making it easier than ever to see who’s monitoring what, where, and how across America’s rivers!

Geographic and administrative boundaries don’t always match up. That’s why it’s critical to tie water data to the physical places it represents. Our knowledge graph and open-source experts have spent years building the Geoconnex system to do just that.
The Explorer is the first public data discovery tool built on this system and it’s just the start. We’re entering a new era of connected, place-based #WaterData. We can’t wait to see how it supports new tools, insights, and actions for #WaterResilience.
Congrats to the IoW team!
In Pinal County, we partnered with Arizona Water Company to replace fragmented data and paperwork with clear, parcel-level insight comparing actual water use to 100-year allocations.
See what this could look like in your region:

Planners: From drought to development, smarter water planning starts with knowing who owns the land.
Join us and the @APA_Planning for a webinar on how parcel-level land ownership data can help planners connect land use and water systems.

Happy #InternationalDroneDay! We use #RemoteSensing in a lot of our work—from identifying wetland landscapes and flora to creating systems to monitor remote sites. But we also get to use drones just for fun. Check out these gorgeous shots our own Jake Czawlytko captured in Maui!
At CGS, we've leveraged technology to uncover exactly #WhoOwnsAmerica—but why ask that question to begin with? CGS Director Jeff Allenby joined WCET to discuss how this knowledge has the potential to impact the #HousingCrisis.
Check out the podcast: cetconnect.org/zeroing-in-on…
Technology is a powerful tool—it can drive rent hikes, or empower cities to preserve housing stock.
At CGS, we’re helping local leaders harness data and geospatial tools so they can act quickly with community-first policy to address #AffordableHousing.

Where can we locate affordable housing? And how do we pay for it? In a recent webinar hosted by the Lincoln Institute, experts from @CGS_Earth, @MassHousing, @CincinnatiPort, and @Guidehouse discussed solutions to these thorny fundamental problems: go.lincolninst.edu/l/153411/…
