AmbioTEK Community Interest Company
AmbioTEK CIC is a UK not-for-profit, directed by Dr. Sophia Burke, that maintains, provides and supports open-access to software and hardware tools to better monitor and manage water, natural hazards and ecosystem services. These tools are regularly updated, maintained and provided to all for free, alongside support and training in their appropriate use, towards policy for environmental sustainability. This activity is funded by licenses paid by commercial, from research partnerships and from bespoke consultancy arrangements where AmbioTEK apply these tools for you. As a not-for-profit, our goal is empowering others in the development of more environmentally sustainable land use and conservation policy and management.
Contact AmbioTEK if you would like to work with us using these tools anywhere in the world, focusing on:
Mapping current natural capital, water security, sustainable development goals
Policy/decision support such as biodiversity prioritisation, REDD + schemes, environmental SWOT analysis
Scenario simulation modelling under IPCC climate change scenarios, land cover change scenarios (eg afforestation / deforestation), land use change scenarios (eg potential impact on water quality)
Physical Climate Risk for Financial Services including Hazard, Exposure and Vulnerability of global assets and supply chains at risk
Local monitoring using FreeStation technology, with current applications in monitoring weather, air and water pollution, Natural Flood Management, and Regenerative Agriculture.

Our focus:
AmbioTEK CIC with King's College London and a range of partners have developed a range of Policy Support Systems. We maintain, deliver and support the use of these systems by all. These Policy Support Systems focus on environmental hazard mitigation, conservation strategies, sustainable water resources development, climate change mitigation and adaptation through policy levers such as REDD+ (Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation), and the evaluation of ecosystem service provision by natural and agricultural landscapes.
Water risk and water security under scenarios of IPCC Climate Change, Land Use Change and Land Management for water resource planning and benefit sharing mechanisms such as Payment for Ecosystem Services.
Natural capital and ecosystem services, identifying the human beneficiaries of these services, and assessing impacts of human interventions.
Environmental SWOT analysis considering environment, water, energy, food, economy and population. Identifies environmental threats, opportunities and choke points that may create conflict
A probabilistic natural catastrophe model which assesses risks, exposure, loss, mitigation and avoided loss for current natural capital and scenarios for climate and nature-based solution investments.
The FreeStation Initiative uses open source hardware to build and deploy reliable environmental data loggers with the lowest cost and easiest DIY build possible. These are designed to make reliable, detailed and local environmental data more accessible in areas that may have little local financial and technical capacity for the collection of such data.
We don't sell environmental data loggers, we make their designs freely available online for you to build. We also provide an expert environmental monitoring service by building installing and maintaining environmental loggers and within the content of projects with monitoring needs, including development of monitoring strategies and sampling schemes and analysis of the resulting data.
