Sample datasets will include time series maps of vegetation, land cover, and temperature as well as high resolution field measurements for validation.
What the Marine Environmental Data and Information Network (MEDIN) has been up to in order to improve access to marine data and promote the message of 'measure once, use many times'.
NCRIS supports approximately 40,000 users each year through 27 facilities across 9 focus areas of research including advanced physics, complex biology, digital data and eResearch platforms. Virtual Laboratories are domain-oriented online environments that draw together research data, models, analysis tools and workflows to support collaborative research across institutional and discipline boundaries in domains such as astronomy, climate, ecology, economics, geosciences, humanities, life sciences, marine and social sciences. The document provides links to data aggregators including the Knowledge Network, Trove, and Research Data Australia.
This document discusses the development of a wireless sensor network system for environmental monitoring and management support. The key points are:
1) The system would be smart, distributed, low-cost, robust, adaptable, scalable, and eco-friendly to provide continuous data collection across ecological scales from satellite to ground sensors.
2) It represents a new platform that takes a multidisciplinary approach through phased R&D to evolve viable sensor network products that are broadly applicable beyond just the environments being monitored.
3) Initial transmission trials of the sensor network in sea environments showed promise while also demonstrating limitations of very low frequency communication that require further development of the system.

Deep learning for large scale biodiversity monitoringGreenapps&web

Conservation Metrics, Inc.
Healthy ecosystems with intact biodiversity provide human societies with valuable services such as clean air and water, storm protection, tourism, medicine, food, and cultural resources. Protecting this natural capital is one of the great challenges of our era. Species extinction and ecological degradation steadily continues despite conservation funding of roughly U.S. $20 billion per year worldwide. Measurements of conservation outcomes are often uninformative, hindering iterative improvements and innovation in the field. There is cause for optimism, however, as recent technological advances in sensor networks, big data processing, and machine intelligence can provide affordable and effective measures of conservation outcomes. We present several working case studies using our system, which employs deep learning to empower biologists to analyze petabytes of sensor data from a network of remote microphones and cameras. This system, which is being used to monitor endangered species and ecosystems around the globe, has enabled an order of magnitude improvement in the cost effectiveness of such projects. This approach can be expanded to encompass a greater variety of sensor sources, such as drones, to monitor animal populations, habitat quality, and to actively deter wildlife from hazardous structures. We present a strategic vision for how data-driven approaches to conservation can drive iterative improvements through better information and outcomes-based funding mechanisms, ultimately enabling increasing returns on biodiversity investments.

This document summarizes the development of a new self-regulating tide gate (SRT) design by the Environment Agency. Key points:
- The SRT allows controlled tidal exchange to restore intertidal habitats while maintaining flood protection. Previous proprietary designs had to be imported.
- The new design is float-operated and adaptable to different locations. Prototypes were installed at Seaton, Devon and Lymington, Hampshire to demonstrate uses.
- The design meets criteria for being locally produced, fail-safe, low maintenance, and facilitating fish passage. Monitoring shows it operates automatically in response to tides as intended.
This document discusses infrastructure resilience and summarizes Dr. Sarah Dunn's research in this area. Her research aims to improve community resilience to hazards by developing techniques to identify vulnerable infrastructure systems and protect them. She uses network analysis and fragility curves to estimate damage from events like storms to electricity networks. The research forecasts consequences to infrastructure based on hazard intensity, exposure data, and fragility curves derived from historical fault data. This allows identifying areas most likely to be impacted and informing contingency planning.
This document summarizes a presentation given by Gwyn Williams on the threats to biodiversity from human activities and climate change. Some key points include:
- Species abundance in the UK has declined significantly since 1970 according to conservation indices.
- Protected areas have helped conserve some species but large-scale species range shifts are projected due to climate change.
- A rapid transition to a low-carbon economy is needed to address climate change but must be achieved in a way that is sustainable and does not further deplete nature.
- The presentation examines options for tidal energy generation in the Severn Estuary and concludes that more research is needed to understand potential ecological impacts before large-scale development.

Marine Renewable Energy: Legal and Policy Challenges to Integrating an Emergi...Glen Wright
Marine renewable energy faces significant legal and policy challenges to its integration as an emerging renewable source. Key challenges include obtaining permits, determining seabed ownership, conducting environmental impact assessments, connecting to electricity grids, and establishing incentives. While the technology is advancing, most jurisdictions lack coherent regulatory frameworks, and obtaining project approvals can take years. Strategic environmental assessments, streamlined permitting processes, and clustered grid connections may help address these challenges as countries work to reform policies and better facilitate marine renewable energy development.
