Software for Marine Data Management

Anthony Patterson, CMRC

ICT for..

• Marine Biology– Turtle behaviour, Cold Water Corals

• Earth Observation– Maritime Security, online collaboration

• Coastal Governance– Climate information and adaptation

Turtle diving behaviour

• Tagging data – depths and times• K-means clustering & generative topology

mapping• Unsupervised learning• Matlab & Fortran• Distinct dive profiles• Insight into behaviour

Cold Water Corals

• Fisheries catch data• Habitat suitability• Data cleansing and geospatial analysis• Remote invocation through Rook (R)• WebGIS workflow• Simplest thing that could possibly work

Maritime Security

• Military/Academic/Industrial• Vessel Identification• Anomalous behaviour• Machine learning and data mining• Matlab• Service deployment

eCollaboration

• ESA proposal• Desktop to cloud• Online collaboration for Earth Observation• Competition for best algorithm

Climate Information

• EPA Platform• Phase 1 “Discovery” complete• Exploration of projection data• 15 min, 4km, netCDF• Backend: Clojure, R, CouchDB, CDO• UI: HTML, SVG, CSS, JS

Coastal Adaptation

• iasess prototype• Fuzzy Cognitive Mapping• Resilience• Plausible futures• Projection clustering?
