A collective audience of some 110 […]
The Western Channel Observatory (WCO) is an oceanographic time-series and marine biodiversity reference site that provides a valuable source of data to a wide range of UK research, policymaker, public and businesses communities. Recently emerging sensor and platform technologies have proven their abilities to increase both the spatial and time resolution of these data. While this additional […]

Dr Tom August, UKCEH I built a physical ‘data cube’ as a way to communicate how this concept is used in biodiversity research. Data cubes are three-dimensional arrays of data, or put another way, a stack of spreadsheets, one on top of another. In the case of my research the three dimensions of the data […]
On Friday 10th June, we were pleased to welcome Dr Liz Kent Unwin of the National Oceanographic Centre (NOC), to present her webinar entitled ‘Making old data more useful’.
