EMODnet Physics supported OGS in the adoption of the ERDDAP technology which enables users to easily download subsets of scientific datasets in common file formats and make graphs and maps.
By using EMODnet in situ integrated physics data in combination with modeling and remote sensing data from Copernicus Marine Service, Cyprus Subsea Consulting and Services C.S.C.S. Ltd (CSCS) gains important insight on the oceanographic conditions of the operational area where they deploy gliders.
The latest OSPAR Threatened and/or Declining Habitats dataset (version 2020) is now available via the EMODnet Seabed Habitats portal. This dataset comprises point and polygon data and shows the distribution of habitats on the OSPAR list of threatened and/or declining species and habitats within the North-east Atlantic.
Many EMODnet thematics, data ingestion and the Secretariat were active as technical advisors and mentors for the Blue-Cloud Hackathon 2022 on 7-9 February. In addition, EMODnet Chemistry experts were involved in the EutroWarn team, which used a small subset from the EMODnet Eutrophication and Acidity time series data for the Northern Adriatic region in the Mediterranean Sea to develop the idea entitled ‘Early Warning System for Severe Eutrophication’. The Blue-Cloud Hackathon brought together nearly 150 participants from a diverse community of marine science practitioners, computer scientists and innovators to test Blue-Cloud's web-based ecosystem of Open Science services and resources to address selected Ocean challenges.
The Ocean Sciences Meeting 2022 ("Come Together and Connect") will focus on the importance of strong pilina for the ocean science community. Pilina means connection, relationship, and association and is an important value in Hawaiian culture that encourages inclusivity and collaborations to achieve results that cannot be accomplished with one person alone. EMODnet will be actively contributing to a number of sessions including the scientific session: "OD11 The uptake of data by citizen scientists, aggregators and end-users: successes, challenges and gaps in the dataflow".
The 6th edition of the EU Datathon, the annual EU open data competition, includes four challenges.
Challenge 1: ‘The European Green Deal’ Challenge 2: ‘Transparency in public procurement’ Challenge 3: ‘EU public procurement opportunities for young people’ Challenge 4: ‘A Europe fit for the digital age’The finals will take place on 20 October 2022.
