The Public Laboratory for Open Technology and Science (Public Lab) is a non-profit organization that facilitates collaborative,
Balloon Mapping
The aerial photography technique Public Lab is best known for involves lifting cameras above an area using tethered helium-filled weather balloons.[13]
Open source environmental monitoring
Public Lab's community develops open source hardware, software, and other open methodologies to democratize environmental monitoring. Recognizing that cost, complexity, and lack of access can prevent communities from playing an active role in documenting environmental problems, the community publishes plans and guides for Do It Yourself monitoring projects that can be made at home.[14][15][16]
