Presentation Transcript

  1. The evolution of e-Ecology Willem Bouten Institute for Biodiversity and Ecosystem Dynamics University of Amsterdam

  2. Our Scientific Challenges • Increased human pressure on nature • Data explosion as an opportunity • Virtual Fieldwork • e-Ecology towards a quantitative predictive science

  3. Research aim: to understand interactions between abiotic and biotic components of systems at different scales eScience approach for integrating models and measurements

  4. e-Ecology e-Ecology is a multidisciplinary scientific approach to answer ecological questions, by organizing computer networked collaborations and distributed resources, and by utilizing new developments in computer science, information and communication technology (ICT).

  5. Our virtual labs for e-Ecology Citizen science Bird radars GPS-tracking > 20.000 users > 50 M observations NDFF Streaming data Many TB ENRAM network Streaming data 40 Word-wide projects

  6. Allegranza An example Tri-axial accelerometer at 20 Hz Measurement interval 48 sec Madagaskar

  7. Vogel het uit! Vogel het uit

  8. Our next Challenge(s) in eEcology • Quatifying the 3D structure of the world vegetation • as a proxy for biodiversity • Confronting theoretical models with observations in a Bayesian framework • Introduce e-Ecology in the curriculum of ecology
