Program accomplishments

  • THE SHEERWATER PROJECT: EQUITY IN WEATHER INTELLIGENCE WEATHER INTELLIGENCETHE USE SHORT, MEDIUM, AND LONG-TERM FORECASTS FOR IMPROVED DECISION-MAKING IN CRITICAL SECTORS INCLUDING AGRICULTURE AND ENERGYIS INCREASINGLY VITAL IN THE FACE OF UNPRECEDENTED CHANGES IN WEATHER AND CLIMATE. HOWEVER, THE AVAILABILITY OF LOCALIZED, HIGH-QUALITY FORECASTS IS NOT EQUITABLE AROUND THE WORLD; REGIONS THAT ARE UNABLE TO MAKE LARGE INVESTMENTS IN SPECIALIZED MEASUREMENT EQUIPMENT OR COMPUTATIONAL RESOURCES SUFFER FROM DISPARITIES IN FORECAST QUALITY, ACTIONABILITY, AND USABILITY. RHIZA LED AN EFFORT TO DEVELOP AN AFRICA-FOCUSED BENCHMARK OF EXISTING WEATHER FORECASTS AND THEIR UTILITY FOR AGRICULTURAL APPLICATIONS AND WORKED TO DISSEMINATE THIS BENCHMARK TO KEY STAKEHOLDERS IN THE SPACE.
    Expenses $240,114
  • THE POWER EQUALITY INITIATIVE OVER THE PAST DECADES, SWEEPING EFFORTS HAVE BEEN MADE TO ENSURE GLOBAL ACCESS TO ELECTRICITY. HOWEVER, IN MUCH OF THE WORLD, EVEN THOSE WITH ACCESS TO ELECTRICITY STILL RECEIVE ELECTRICITY WITH POOR RELIABILITY AND QUALITY. THIS LACK OF QUALITY UNDERMINES THE PROPOSED BENEFITS OF ELECTRIFICATION IN HOMES, BUSINESSES, SCHOOLS, AND HOSPITALS AND ALSO MAKES IT MUCH MORE DIFFICULT FOR UTILITIES TO TRANSITION THEIR GRIDS TO CLEANER ENERGY. RHIZA WORKED TO BRING TOGETHER KEY STAKEHOLDERS IN THE SPACE OF POWER QUALITY MEASUREMENT AND PARTICIPATED IN A WORKING GROUP ON CHARACTERIZING THE STATE OF GLOBAL ELECTRICITY GRIDS.
    Expenses $9,587
  • FULL MISSION STATEMENT: RHIZA RESEARCH IS A NONPROFIT THAT SEEKS OUT DATA, TECHNOLOGY, AND TECHNICAL CAPACITY GAPS AND DEVELOPS CREATIVE, OPEN, AND ACCESSIBLE TECHNICAL SOLUTIONS TO FILL THOSE GAPS. WE ARE DEDICATED TO WORKING ON PROJECTS THAT WE BELIEVE WILL HAVE A POSITIVE IMPACT ON THE WELL-BEING OF ECOSYSTEMS AND COMMUNITIES, FROM ELECTRIC GRIDS TO WEATHER FORECASTING, FROM ECOLOGY TO MUSIC.
