MarinEye

Participated in this project by building a platform for integrating and analyzing physical-chemical and biological data on the marine environment, under the supervision of Prof. Luís Torgo.

About the project

MarinEye is a new concept of Ocean observation. It is an autonomous system that integrates the different important compartments of our ocean by generating biological, physical and chemical data sets synchronized in time and space.

In the ocean chemical, physical and biological compartments interact in complex ways. However, the dynamics of its environments with an integrated view of all their components is largely unknown, mainly because biogeochemical and biological ocean monitoring is still underrepresented. Thus, there is a lack of long-term biological and biogeochemical data at large spatial scales synchronized in time and space together with chemical and physical data.

In MarinEye we applied an holistic approach by integrating distinct autonomous technology to observe the different compartments of the oceans at the same time scale.

MarinEye will give an extremely important contribution by complementing the already existent ocean observatories with novel integrative data not currently supplied.

About the work package

The goal of this work package was to create a centralized data infra-structure and develop a set of software tools that help in analyzing the large set and disparate data (physical, chemical, biological) that will be collected by the multitrophic MarinEye prototype. These software tools will uncover unsuspected and useful patterns that may exist on the physico-chemical and biological data sets generated by the multitrophic system.
