For the first time, EMODnet Chemistry has published an aggregated collection of data on eutrophication and acidity at European level. We spoke to Reiner Schlitzer from the Alfred Wegener Institute (AWI) about this new data product. Involved in the development of the EMODnet Chemistry project since 2009, the AWI is responsible for the maintenance and development of Ocean Data View (ODV), an interactive data analysis and visualisation software. Finally, Schlitzer will talk about EMODnet Chemistry…
EMODnet Biology is built upon the EurOBIS data infrastructure and the work developed over the past 20 years that have massively contributed to not only more data being published but also with technical advances that allowed for various types of data reaching EMODnet’s wider stakeholders.
EMODnet Biology has launched a survey aimed at EU-funded projects working on biodiversity to gather valuable feedback and insights. This information will help the EMODnet Biology consortium plan an online workshop in mid-November. The workshop will provide an overview of EMODnet Biology, the resources available to data providers, and explore how the consortium can support projects in submitting their outputs—particularly data and products for (re)hosting in EMODnet.
Eurofleets+ is a Horizon 2020 funded initiative aimed at providing open and free-of-charge access to state-of-the-art European research vessels and marine equipment through Transnational Calls. Its objectives include easing access to and management of marine data and enhancing the sustainability of marine research infrastructures.
EMODnet is thrilled to announce and welcome two new Associated Partners to the EMOD-network, namely Van Oord and savvy navvy. Both organisation bring unique expertise and a strong commitment to advancing collaboration with EMODnet in the areas of data sharing, best practices in marine data, information technology and data services, and expanding the users of EMODnet, including for the Blue Economy.
The Federal Maritime and Hydrographic Agency (BSH) has joined the EMODnet Chemistry Partnership as the National Data Centre of the Federal Republic of Germany. The BSH is the public institution for maritime tasks of the Federal Ministry for Digital and Transport Affairs of the Federal Republic of Germany. Together with the German Oceanographic Data Centre (DOD), the Agency organises the national and international exchange of oceanographic data. Welcome aboard the EMODnet community!
A spatial analysis of all marine habitat maps collated by EMODnet Seabed Habitats in European sea basins shows that the majority of maps display broad habitat types and lack detailed data on marine communities. This information was used by the European Marine Board (EMB) Habitat Mapping Working Group, in the recently published Future Science Brief on marine habitat mapping, to highlight the need for policy makers to propose funding for programmes that will produce more biologically-themed…
Three new products were republished by EMODnet Biology in the EMODnet Central Portal Viewer. The products focus provide the probability of occurrence for various fish species.
