  1. GCE Site and Information Management Overview Wade Sheldon GCE Information Manager

  2. GCE LTER Study Area

  3. Altamaha River

  4. Sapelo Island

  5. Intertidal Marsh

  6. Reynolds Mansion

  7. Coastal Development

  8. Marsh &Creek Monitoring Sites • Water/salt transport • Nutrient fluxes • Plant biomass and productivity • Soil organics • Decomposer activity and diversity • Climate (3-4 sites)

  9. Hydrographic Survey Locations(Quarterly surveys, moored instruments) • Tidal Surveys: • Surface Salinity • Surface Temperature • DOM/ChlA fluorescence? • Depth Profiles (2-4km stations) • Salinity • Temperature • PAR? • Moored Instruments • CT sensors • ADCP (Altamaha Sound)

  10. GCE Information Management • IM Staff: 1 manager (.75 time) • IT Infrastructure • UGA: Campus Networking Services • IMAP, SMTP, listserv, personal WWW • Ethernet backbone (Gigabit fiber) • high bandwidth switch (new) • Sapelo (field station): UGAMI LAN • Modem and ISDN (new) • Remote Sensor Connectivity • mostly offline (dataloggers) • USGS microwave (1 Met/Hydro station) • GCE Server • Web (HTML, ASP, Matlab Web Server) • Database (SQL Server) • File sharing, FTP (very limited)

  11. Management Strategy • Concentrate on core data management (not IT) • Development of standards and protocols • Data processing, validation • Data documentation templates, web applications • Data set, data product dissemination • Maintain web sites for public relations, project participants • Automate extensively • Database-driven web pages • Web-based data entry with client- & server-side scripting • Automated tabular data set processing, formatting, statistical analysis (GCE Data Tools/Data Structures) • Provide research support to encourage participation • Custom statistical reports for submitted data sets • Data analysis/visualization applications (Windows/Unix GUIs) • General resources (tide tables, site maps, aerial photos, external data)

  12. Data Processing Scheme

  13. Progress and Plans • Public and private web sites in operation • Data standards and policies published • 6 data sets processed to date • Climate and hydrographic data coming in • Data submission web application under development (templates in use) • End-user GUIs for GCE Data Tools in testing • Web-based programs for manipulating, analyzing Data Structures planned

  14. GCE Data Tools
