A distributed, GNSS-synchronised monitoring network that brings many Earth domains onto a single sub-microsecond timebase, turning fragmented observations into one coherent, machine-ready data stream.
Earth's systems are physically coupled, but the data about them usually isn't: different domains arrive on different clocks, in different formats, from different networks, and the connections between them are lost. Cascadia Sentinel disciplines every sensor at every node to one shared, sub-microsecond timebase and writes the result into a single, time-aligned archive. The unification is the clock and the shared representation, not any single model.
Most multi-sensor sites stitch domains together after the fact, interpolating across mismatched clocks. Cascadia Sentinel captures every domain on one GNSS-disciplined timebase, so cross-domain signals are recorded at the timescale they actually happen, with traceable timing on every record. That coherence is what makes the data trustworthy for modern AI models.
Rugged Point Coastal Science Observatory, on a deliberately data-sparse stretch of the exposed Pacific margin, hosts the first node: five operational domains, on one clock, streaming today. It is both our proof of concept and the template for every node that follows.
Broadband ground motion. Regional seismicity and tectonic noise.
Surface meteorology: wind, pressure, humidity, temperature, radiation.
Magnetic field fluctuations and geomagnetic activity.
Sea-surface temperature and wave radar: height, direction, period.
Solar and geomagnetic forcing, derived from ground magnetometer variation.
The operational core of a platform designed to grow toward its full multi-domain suite.
Node One is the template, not the destination. Every node runs the same synchronised, multi-domain stack and writes to one schema and one timebase, so data is directly comparable from site to site and the network grows by repeating a proven design. Further nodes are in development, extending coverage across the Pacific margin and both hemispheres.
The same synchronised, multi-domain instrument stack at every node.
One schema, one timebase, so sites can be read against each other directly.
Further nodes in development across the Pacific margin and both hemispheres.
Every domain fused into a single, time-aligned data object per node.
Full lineage on every record, built for reproducible science.
A licensed API for historical and live streaming, plus access to models.
State-of-the-art per-domain models, developed with a dedicated AI partner.
Time-aligned training and validation data, where models are weakest: against real ground observations.
Space-weather and geomagnetic signals for grid-stability early warning.
Coupled, multi-hazard data for compound-risk modelling.
A multi-domain ground-truth layer that validates and enriches satellite products and feeds coupled-system research.
We're onboarding a small group of founding partners for early access to the data and models. If your work depends on coupled Earth-system data, let's talk.
