Find the data you need to make good decisions

Industry doesn’t have access to the data it needs to operate in harmony with nature. For instance, if a shipping company knows that a whale breeding ground lies within their routes, they are better able to adjust accordingly to minimise impact.

  • Oil and Gas surveys planned to avoid important breeding grounds

  • Shipping plan routes accordingly to avoid collisions, noise,

  • Finance can use the data to figure out investment risk.

The consequence are risk having more nature impact

The Ocean Data Platform allows access to ocean data from multiple sources, allowing for ability to create proper shipping routes.

Structuring

As the open science concept develops, a lot more data and observations are becoming available as open source. However there are a lot more data captured than are shared openly, making vast quantities of useful data hidden and inaccessible. Researchers often have data stored on personal hard drives. Industrial data has sensitivity that requires security. And lots of data doesn’t have a place to be published due to due to large volumes or cumbersome formats.

HUB Ocean works with data providers to offer them a secure place to publish their data on the platform and make it available for the common good. This means users have access to unique data that cannot be found anywhere else, such as unprocessed raw files, data fit for purpose and private data, from various geographies and providers around the world.

Make your work seen–and used.

Research projects collect enormous amounts to data and what gets published and visible is often a small fraction that conforms to certain peer-reviewed publications. The remaining data often sits hidden away on hard drives. And it can be hard to know where to put large amounts of data at the end of a project or research campaign. Some places require the publishing of all data but there are few places which will accept and harmonise it. The end result: so much hidden, unpublished and unused data.

The Ocean Data Platform welcomes large data sets, in many types, and provides the structure to publish and share data.

In the future users will be able to publish not just their data, but also the data analysis and invite others to contribute.

Collaborate easier.

  • "I love the arrangement with example notebooks for different data sources. It’s very similar to the Microsoft Planetary Computer. We’re inspired to take a similar approach for a Hub (in energy systems modelling) into another project."

  • "The conversion of raw echosounder data into NetCDF files takes around 5 days using 4 nodes dask cluster, compared to many weeks using a local PC."
