Probable Futures Open Data Documentation

Welcome! This site contains documentation for analysts, data scientists, software engineers, and other data-savvy people interested in exploring or building applications with Probable Futures maps and data. The resources described in this documentation includes the Probable Futures maps, tilesets, API, raw data, and more.

Prerequisite

Before creating anything with Probable Futures data or maps, we strongly recommend reading, or listening to the audio version of, all three volumes on probablefutures.org: Heat, Water, and Land. These volumes provide essential context for creating applications using Probable Futures maps and data. If you have not read or listened to the volumes and are ready to begin, start with the first section: Stability and the Heat Volume.
