Plankton Genomics

Main target users:  

Plankton researchers, ocean modellers, Blue Data infrastructures for their data products catalogues and as use cases.

Services introduction:

The Vlab offers two notebooks. One explores the clustering of a massive genomic dataset and its taxonomic and functional annotation. The other uses machine learning to relate those clusters to the environment (and their parameters such as longitude/latitude, temperature, pH) and extrapolate their potential distribution worldwide.

PerfeCt - Performance of Aquaculture under Climate change

Main target users:  

Risk assessors, Aquaculture managers, Investors, Policy makers

Services introduction:

PerfeCt is a modular Jupyter notebook that hindcasts and forecasts the effects of IPCC climate change scenarios on three simple aquaculture performance factors - time-to-market, food conversion ratio, and risk of disease - using open-source data and services.

Test the Virtual Lab

The Wildlife Tracker for Oceans

Main target users:

Marine scientists dedicated to MPAs and conservation efforts

Services introduction:

The Wildlife Tracker has diversified its activities and it can offer real-time wildlife monitoring based on alert system, web map gallery creation, and biologging data enrichment with satellite data. As a cloud-based platform the service is done by monthly/yearly subscription and we offer cooperation to non-profit foundations based on blue economy model.

Sea Clearly

Main target users:

Policy-makers, aquaculture industry, general public. 

Services introduction:

Sea Clearly is a Jupyter Notebook for analysis of plastic pollution in aquaculture.

  • The main service is openly available on Github and also accessible on the Blue-Cloud VLab.
  • A second service is an interactive web-application www.seaclearly.io where visualisations are accessible without any installation required.

Providing computing platforms and analytical services to facilitate the collaboration between researchers

There are several research infrastructures or other data services running in Europe that cover a multitude of marine-related sciences, providing specific datasets coming from observations collected with different methods. These infrastructures constitute a diverse world, each looking at a piece of the big picture, sometimes hindering collaboration and data sharing.
