  1. Integrating past, present, and projected future biological and environmental data to facilitate innovative global change biology research

  2. Leveraging UC Berkeley’s exceptional resources Berkeley Natural History Museums • Insects (and their kin) • 6.5 Million specimens (<2.5% digitized) • Fossils • 6.5 Million specimens (<5% digitized) • Vertebrates • 677,000 specimens (100% digitized) • Plants • 2.2 Million specimens (16% digitized) Time scale 1800s present

  3. Leveraging UC Berkeley’s exceptional resources Berkeley Field Stations • Biological observations • Species checklists • Field notes • Photographs • Microclimate sensor arrays • Over 4 million measurements • 48 variables Time scale 1900s present

  4. Leveraging UC Berkeley’s exceptional resources Wieslander Vegetation Type Mapping • Plot data • Vegetation data for 18,000+ plots • Polygon data • Dominant vegetation mapped • Photographs • ~3100 black and white photos • Specimens • ~22,000 specimens collected Time scale 1942 1928 Kelly et al. 2005

  5. Leveraging UC Berkeley’s exceptional resources Sediment Cores • Climatic, floristic, entomological and fire history data from ~50 cores, including Clear Lake Time scale 130,000 ya present

  6. More biological observations • Biocollectionsfrom around the State • Photographs and additional observations collected by various users Pulling data from external sources Freely-available baselayers • Climate • Land cover • Topography • Geology • Soils • Fire frequency • Nature reserves

  7. Users can access data and its metadata via our Online Portal, Holos. Holoscomes with built-in searching, charting, visualization and analysis tools • The Data API’s open framework allows third-party developers to write their own tools. Integrating data within Holos
