TerraData environmetrics is a spin-off company of the University of Siena (Italy). It was created in 2006 to develop, integrate, transfer and apply the results of scientific research, in order to promote quantitative methods for environmental monitoring and assessment.
TerraData is a research body registered in the Italian Register of Research (code: 61984KVC).
TerraData is a member of the UNI (Ente Nazionale Italiano di Unificazione) and participates in the activities of the Environmental Commitee represent UNI within the WG 31/TC264 of the CEN (European Standardization Center) dealing with "Biomonitoring methods with mosses and lichens".
