Highlights
- The Ocean Biogeographic Information System (OBIS) provides observations of marine species from many different sources. And you can easily query and visualize the data using a Jupyter notebook!
- iNaturalist citizen science observations are helping researchers understand biodiversity monitoring (after some automated data processing). iNaturalist got a thumbs up from a meeting participant as a neat mobile app to take on your hikes.
- Rescuing legacy data at the USGS remains a Herculean effort. The Legacy Data Inventory Reporting System (LDIRS) and its evaluation criteria can help the USGS address this need.
- Need guidance for proper documentation and publication of geolocated photo collections? See the CDI-funded project on a web mapping application for photo collections.
