  1. Soils to Satellites

  2. Soils to Satellites • NCRIS Capabilities Well Placed • NCRIS capabilities have access to: • Vast volumes of Data (uniformly and non-uniformly structured) • High levels of Technical Expertise • Advanced Technology& Technical Infrastructure.

  3. ALA and ÆKOS – data comparison AEKOS supports rich, plot-based ecological data and leverages ALA complementary expertise in systematics, biodiversity and spatial platforms Biodiversity Data - ALA Ecological Data – ÆKOS • Rich plot-based data • Depth of single domain • Contextual environmental observations • Semantically federated and integrated complex data • Output flexibility (first pass to greater detail) • Describes biodiversity ‘look & feel’ (ecosystem dynamics) • Systematics – classification • Breadth of life domains • Rich spatial layers for location and environmental context and analysis • 36m records - Museums and Herbaria, State agencies, NRMs, Citizen science • Concentrates on species and specimen data and profiles

  4. Soils to Satellites • Greater Synergies Possible • Greater synergies between NCRIS capabilities possible by: • Increasing cross-capability collaboration and communication • Improving interoperability between NCRIS systems (including integration with non-uniformly structured data e.g. ecological & biodiversity data) • Gaining familiarity of each other’s capabilities. • Leverages existing and mature ALA web services infrastructure

  5. Soils to Satellites • Soils to Satellites addresses these needs • Incubator project to: • demonstrate • integration of disparate data independent of structure and standards • collaboration and cooperation between NCRIS capabilities • Value and power of ALA web services • contribute to and enrich ANDS Research Data Australia platform • generate ‘real world’ feedback for future iterations.

  6. Soils to Satellites • Project Overview • Australian National Data Service (ANDS) Applications Project • July 2012 – June 2013 • Project Partners: • TERN Eco-informatics • Atlas of Living Australia (CSIRO) • Collaborators: • TERN MSPN/TREND • TERN AusCover

  7. Soils to Satellites • Integration of disparate data • TREND & Ausplots ecological data (ÆKOS, CSIRO NSA) • Plot-based plant community data • Soil characterisation data - structure, pH ,nutrients, carbon etc • Atlas of Living Australia (spatially represented data) • Species occurrence and distribution data • Environmental characteristics • TERN AusCover(biophysical remote sensing data) • multi-spectral characteristics of site. • TREND genomics data (BPA, SARDI, BGI, BOLD) • Opaque “blobs” of genomics data including barcode • sequences, Soil Metagenomics data , isotope data

  8. Soils to Satellites • Collaboration & Co-operation - bringing together technical expertise and technological infrastructure for mutual benefit.

  9. Soils to Satellites Benefits • Enables plot and data to be explored in new ways • Exposes relationships not previously possible. • Addresses science questions • Community composition and turn-over along environmental gradients • Genetic differentiation and flow • Understanding environmental drivers • Current and predicted future species distributions • Climate resilient and sensitive communities/refugia. Now 2050

  10. Soils to Satellites • Specific System Capabilities • Discover study locations using a wide range of criteria • Explore data from these locations, including data from multiple site visits • Compare survey, biodiversity and environmental data between study locations and visits • Extract data for offline analysis • Provide assistance to researchers in selecting relevant data depending on the research question

  11. Visualisation Outputs • Single Study Location Summary

  12. Visualisation Outputs Number of distinct plant species (67 study locations - Ausplots) With corresponding rainfall comparison (ALA) • Multiple Study Location Comparison

  13. Visualisation Outputs • Multiple Study Location Summary

  14. Visualisation Outputs • Single Study Location Visit Summary

  15. Visualisation Outputs • Multiple Study Location Visit Comparisons

  16. Soils to Satellites A “live” system!

  17. This project is supported by the Australian National Data Service (ANDS) ANDS is supported by the Australian Government through the National Collaborative Research Infrastructure Strategy Program and the Education Investment Fund (EIF) Super Science Initiative
