Environmental memory is the sum of explicit, persistent and structured data of knowledges, models and scientific expertise linked to an environmental observation system to ease long-term access, sharing and reusability of the information.[1]

Diverse environmental memory is embedded in different regions and this "spatially distributed environmental memory" can be shared via interpersonal networks and social learning.[2]

The open-source project Emios is an implementation of environmental memory.
