The Southern Ocean is disproportionately important in its effect on the Earth system, impacting climatic, biogeochemical and ecological systems, which makes recent observed changes to this system cause for global concern. enhanced understanding improvements predictive skill needed projecting future states of require sustained observations. Over last decade, Observing System (SOOS) has established networks enhancing regional coordination research community groups advance development observing...

Observing air-sea interactions on a global scale is essential for improving Earth system forecasts. Yet these exchanges are challenging to quantify range of reasons, including extreme conditions, vast and remote under-sampled locations, requirements multitude co-located variables, the high variability fluxes in space time. Uncrewed Surface Vehicles (USVs) present novel solution measuring crucial at scale. Powered by renewable energy (e.g., wind waves propulsion, solar power electronics),...

The European Ocean Biodiversity Information System (EurOBIS) was established in 2004, as part of the Marine and Ecosystem Functioning Union Network Excellence (MarBEF) project. One key project tasks to integrate different resources on marine biodiversity. This gave birth EurOBIS, a data system capture, present distribution species from individual datasets. Integration consolidation aimed provide better understanding long-term, large-scale patterns waters. first biogeographic went live August...

EMODnet Biology (hosted and coordinated by the Flanders Marine Institute (VLIZ)) is one of seven themes within European Observation Data network (EMODnet). The consortium aims to facilitate accessibility usage marine biodiversity data. With principle "collect once, use many times" at its core, fosters collaboration across various sectors, including research, policy-making, industry, individual citizens, enhance knowledge sharing inform decision-making. focuses on providing free open access...

Historical biodiversity documents comprise an important link to the long-term data life cycle and provide useful insights on several aspects of research management. However, because their historical context, they present specific challenges, primarily time- effort-consuming in curation. The rescue process requires a multidisciplinary effort involving four tasks: (a) Document digitisation (b) Transcription, which involves text recognition correction, (c) Information Extraction, is performed...

Automatic Identification System (AIS) is a technology that allows ships to broadcast their position, course, speed, and other information vessels or shore-based stations. By collecting analysing this data, it possible create heatmap of ship activity in particular region, such as the North Sea. This acts representation vessel per class. A standard geoinformatics format may be preferable scientific researchers would quickly allow users overlay own data onto density layer thus providing spatial...
