About Ripple

The Ripple eDNA Dashboard is a visualisation, collaboration and reporting tool to help you make the most out of your eDNA data. The dashboard provides a user-friendly interface for exploring and sharing eDNA data, including information on species diversity, abundance, and distribution. Users can filter and search data to identify patterns and trends and generate custom reports and visualisations to share with others. The dashboard is designed to be accessible to a wide range of users, including researchers, conservationists, and policymakers. It is intended to help inform decision-making and management efforts and to support ongoing research and monitoring activities.

Ripple has been developed by Epi. The passion of our team is making data and research more accessible, linking complex analytics with practical decisions. Based in Wellington’s creative hub Miramar, we support researchers and policy makers, like yourself, all over the world to improve human, animal and environmental health outcomes drawing on the power of open-source software. Our approach originates in epidemiological disease intelligence and has matured through working across scientific and technical disciplines for more than a decade. We are excited to bring our skills to the world of eDNA.

We are grateful to all of you that provided us with feedback during the development of Ripple. In particular, we would like to thank Michael Bunce (Minderoo Foundation) and Shaun Wilkinson (Wilderlab) for their support, knowledge and enthusiasm that were critical to us finding the courage to bring our know-how to the world of eDNA.

We like to thank the following organisations for their collaboration, data, insights and support:
