Title: Oceans of data: the Integrated Marine Observing System and the Australian Ocean Data Network
Abstract: Australia's Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS, imos.org.au) is a research infrastructure project to establish an enduring observing program for Australian oceanic waters and shelf seas. The observations cover physical, biological, and chemical variables to address themes of multi-decadal ocean change, climate variability and weather extremes, boundary currents and inter-basin flows, continental shelf processes and ecosystem responses.
IMOS has developed a single integrative framework for data and information management, which allows discovery and access of the data by scientists, managers and the public, based on standards and interoperability. The IMOS Ocean portal provides free access to all IMOS data streams. In response to user feedback, new features have recently been added for data discovery, visualisation and download.
The IMOS information infrastructure has been further developed to form the Australian Ocean DataNetwork (AODN, portal.aodn.org.au), which additionally incorporates 6 majorfederal agencies that have signed up to making their data available through the AODN system. AODN will work with state agencies and universities to become the primary point of access for sharing marine data in Australia.
The Western Australian subset of the AODN, launched on the 7th August, is the first regional portal released. This talk will provide a tour of the portal's features and demonstrate how to browse, search, download and visualise data.
Bio: Marton Hidas obtained a PhD in Observational Astrophysics from the University of NSW and spent 3 years as a postdoc with Las Cumbres Observatory Global Telescope Network in California. He studied planets around distant stars then decided there's more than enough on his home planet to keep him interested. He joined the IMOS eMarine Information Infrastructure group as a Project Officer and Data Scientist in 2011.
[Nb. This lecture is repeated at two venues for your convenience, the latter is a larger venue. ALL WELCOME. Friday 10 August, 11am – 12pm, CSIRO Auditorium, Underwood Ave, Floreat WA]
