Digital technology is having a major impact on many areas of society, and there is equal opportunity for impact on science. This is particularly true in the environmental sciences as we seek to understand the complexities of the natural environment under climate change. This perspective presents the outcomes of a summit in this area, a unique cross-disciplinary gathering bringing together environmental scientists, data scientists, computer scientists, social scientists, and representatives of the creative arts. The key output of this workshop is an agreed vision in the form of a framework and associated roadmap, captured in the Windermere Accord. This accord envisions a new kind of environmental science underpinned by unprecedented amounts of data, with technological advances leading to breakthroughs in taming uncertainty and complexity, and also supporting openness, transparency, and reproducibility in science. The perspective also includes a call to build an international community working in this important area.
数字技术正在对社会的许多领域产生重大影响，对科学产生影响的机会也同样存在。在环境科学领域尤其如此，因为我们试图了解气候变化下自然环境的复杂性。这一观点展示了该领域一次峰会的成果，这是一次独特的跨学科聚会，汇聚了环境科学家、数据科学家、计算机科学家、社会科学家以及创意艺术领域的代表。本次研讨会的关键成果是形成了一个以框架和相关路线图形式呈现的共识愿景，即《温德米尔协议》。该协议设想了一种新型的环境科学，其基础是前所未有的大量数据，技术进步将带来在应对不确定性和复杂性方面的突破，同时也支持科学的开放性、透明度和可重复性。该观点还呼吁建立一个在这一重要领域开展工作的国际社群。
