Panel introduction Community fair - objectives

Objectives of the community fair

Raise your awareness of concept of Virtual Research Environment (VRE) ...

... in an effort to mobilize a broad range of user communities


Panel introduction Community fair - road map

How shall we proceed

1. this panel will explainwhich motivations brought us together which challenges we are facing which synergies we are looking for

2. a live demonstration of VREswill concretely illustrate on-going achievements

Information challenges faced, and envisaged

responses; introduction to D4Science application scenarios


- Global ocean chlorophyll profile necessary to understand role of phytoplankton in fisheries, biogeochemical cycling and climate change

- Sensors onboard EO satellites enable the measurement of chlorophyll concentrations in oceans and inland waters

- Chlorophyll concentration indicates the distribution and amount of phytoplankton

GCM - Global ocean Chlorophyll Monitoring


Environmental Monitoring:

http://miravi.eo.esa.int/en/


- Integrates heterogeneous information for ocean chlorophyll monitoring

- Marine scientists, fishery experts, biologists, climatologists fall among the target audience

- Blends satellite data products (ESA’s Envisat), satellite imagery (ESA’s image archive), technical reports and documentation from ESA, EEA, UNEP

- Links to ESA’s G-POD Grid facilities to issue on-demand generation of satellite imagery and products and will serve the requirements of other User Communities



GCM - Global ocean Chlorophyll Monitoring


GVM – Global land Vegetation Monitoring

- Vegetation type, extent, change detection is fundamental for resources management, e.g. energy and water budgets, atmospheric composition, land surface stabilization/roughness, food production, natural habitats…

- Earth images and satellite data products enable to measure and map the density of vegetation

- Global carbon cycle models require vegetative land cover data

- Study of land vegetation impact on forestry, biology, agronomy, hydrology, meteorology …




Produced about 9,000 maps in 3 years: 7,800 marine fish species 1,200 non-fish marine species

Started freshwaters, and thoughts about terrestrial

The number of species on Earth is1 to 2 orders of magnitude higher

than expected 1970s: 1.5 million described, 3.0 million

expected 2000s: 1.8 million described, 10 (30) 100 million

expected

Business as usual: 3 million species: 1,000 years

30 million species: 10,000 years


Aquamaps


Research level: Compute one map under various parameter configuration Compute many times and quickly the same map. [Scientists, FishBase and SeaLifeBase Teams]

Production level: Update maps Re-compute all maps after new data or algorithm are in. [FishBase and SeaLifeBase Teams, IT Group]

Applied level: Use maps for natural resource management (exploitation & conservation) Combine maps to create the so-called Biodiversity maps (species richness). [Conservationists, Fishery Biologists, Biodiversity managers]

General dissemination level: Display of distribution maps like in naturalist field guides. [General public]


Aquamaps


AquaMaps potential presently hampered by the difficulty of access to existing data sources, and by the intensive nature

of the computations

Functionalities have to be developed at the level of one map creation by researchers in such a way to achieve the following goals, increasing:

Precision Accuracy Interoperability Different spatial and temporal resolution levels Prediction capability

Timeliness and relevance Efficiency – avoiding duplications,

promoting reuse Positioning the product


Fishery Country Profiles production system

Our FCP: a very popular product

Three main issues

long history most visited information in FI


A unique Product:

a multilingual, comprehensive, globally harmonized, introduction of fisheries and aquaculture on a country level

providing a basis for the understanding of regional and global trends affecting the fishery sector

a monitoring tool, composed of template of structured topics

including analysis of status and trends articulated with supporting database information mainstreaming major indicators of sector performance




Innovative knowledge gathering and editing workflow in support to relevance, timeliness and efficiency

stimulate generation of knowledge with those who have it distribute responsibilities and promote decentralized inputs of

knowledge – importance of partnerships for information exchange capturing staff knowledge and routine workflow - importance of

annotations

ability to recycle and aggregate parts of other profilesautomatic feeds from live databases

including through partnerships with trusted data providers

support to concurrent editing, reviewing and publishing workflow will reduce publishing delays

Synergies among communities

Integration of scenarios and cross-fertilization among scenarios


Synergies among communities :

integration of user scenarios and cross-fertilization

achieving a true dialog of partnership for information sharing

identification of similar functionality – reuse across scenarios
