Our Mission
Turning contrail research into climate action.
We, along with a broad range of collaborators, are working to build the most up-to-date science into contrail management solutions that can be used by the aviation industry to significantly—and immediately—reduce their climate impact.
Contributors

We are part of a multi-disciplinary network of organizations collaborating on contrail management.

Our Tools
See what we're building
We are building open tools and methods to advance a roadmap for contrail avoidance across the aviation industry. Learn more on Github and py.contrails.org.
You can see these tools in action on the Contrails API, Contrail Map and the Contrail Navigator.
Contact us for more information or to get involved.
