  1. Data management for UK GLOBEC and the Marine Productivity thematic Phil Williamson NERC/University of East Anglia p.williamson@uea.ac.uk Gwen Moncoiffé British Oceanographic Data Centre gmon@bodc.ac.uk

  2. Data management for UK GLOBEC (1) Marine Productivity thematic (NERC) UK GLOBEC Southern Ocean studies (BAS/NERC) Continuous Plankton Recorder survey (SAHFOS) Other GLOBEC-relevant projects in universities, NERC Centres & fishery laboratories (incl EU-funded)

  3. Data management for UK GLOBEC (2) UK DIF entries in GLOBEC metadata inventory 27 0 0 (15) Marine Productivity thematic (NERC) Southern Ocean studies (BAS/NERC) Continuous Plankton Recorder survey (SAHFOS) Other GLOBEC-relevant projects in universities, NERC Centres & fishery laboratories TASC and LIFECO

  4. Data management for UK GLOBEC (3) Southern Ocean studies BAS: Dynamics & Management of Ocean Ecosystems • pelagic ecosystems • predators and fisheries Antarctic Funding Initiative • zooplankton aggregations (BAS, SOC) • predation studies (BAS, Birmingham) • biophysical moorings (BAS, St Andrews, OU) Science contact: Eugene Murphy ejmu@bas.ac.uk Data contact: Antarctic Environmental Data Centre www.bas.ac.uk/aedc

  5. Data management for UK GLOBEC (4) Continuous Plankton Recorder survey SAHFOS: Sir Alister Hardy Foundation for Ocean Sciences Mission: “To maintain the CPR survey so as to provide an accessible, reliable and up to date time series for scientific research and the assessment of the planktonic ecosystem…” Website:www.sahfos.org Science contact: Chris Reid pcre@mail.pml.ac.uk Data contact: Darren Stevens dpst@mail.pml.ac.uk

  6. Data management for UK GLOBEC (5) “Other GLOBEC-relevant projects…..” Universities Aberdeen, Highlands & Islands, Liverpool, Queen’s Belfast, Southampton, St Andrews, Swansea NERC-funded Marine Biological Association (MBA), Plymouth Centres and Marine Laboratory (PML), ProudmanOceanographic Associations Laboratory (POL), Scottish Association for Marine Science (SAMS), Southampton Oceanography Centre (SOC) Fishery CEFAS Lowestoft, FRS Aberdeen, DARDNI Belfast laboratories Science & data contacts: departmental websites and individual PIs

  7. Data management for Marine Productivity thematic (1) Programme aim: “To develop coupled modelling and observational systems for the pelagic ecosystem, with emphasis on physical factors affecting zooplankton population dynamics” Budget of US$9 m over 5 yr (2000-05) supporting 26 component projects and involving > 75 researchers in 20 laboratories. Programme website:www.nerc.ac.uk/marprod

  8. Data management for Marine Productivity thematic (2) • Programme science: • Shelf seas (around UK) plus open ocean (northern N Atlantic) • focus on key species (Calanus finmarchicus & euphausiids) • includes biophysical modelling, retrospective analyses, process studies, surveys, remote sensing and taxonomy Main fieldwork in 2001-02: four research cruises in Irminger Sea and Iceland Basin for full-depth survey of seasonal changes in zooplankton distributions in relation to physical parameters

  9. Data management for Marine Productivity thematic (3) • Data management policy: • matches NERC and GLOBEC data policy guidelines, to maximise science benefits and wider applications • emphasis on high quality cruise-based datasets and other data products, for release as CDs and/or for online access The availability of MarProd data is initially limited to those working within the programme. However, wider sharing may be possible pre-publication, if approved by the data originator.

  10. Data management for Marine Productivity thematic (4) • Role of BODC (British Oceanographic Data Centre) • involved in programme planning, working with Steering Committee and programme scientists • data-tracking and database assembly, checking data quality and supporting documentation • providing information services to programme and to ‘wider world’, publishing data collations MarProd data management website:www.bodc.ac.uk/projects/marprod.html

  11. Data management for Marine Productivity thematic (5) Examples of early Marine Productivity data products “User-friendly guide to coastal planktonic ciliates” www.liv.ac.uk/ciliate Time series for plankton and physical data collected at L4 (off Plymouth) since 1988 www.pml.ac.uk/L4

  12. Data management for Marine Productivity thematic (6) Status of research cruise data: Datasets inventory and banking status now on line for Discovery 258 (Nov-Dec 01) Discovery 262 (Apr-May 02) To follow for Discovery 264 (Jul - Aug 02) Discovery 267 (Nov - Dec 02)

  13. Data management for Marine Productivity thematic (7) Sample management - a closely related issue Biological material collected on MarProd research cruises will be curated at the National Museum, Edinburgh to be available for wider use by the UK and international research community
