Show-Case Introduction
- WP6 objective: 'to support research & development of marine assessments, through availability of information from ocean data, combined with model data to feed decision-support systems.’
–Goal: to simplify complex natural system and human system interactions into indicators useful for scenarios, identification of decision points, & development of policy and management
–Science Indicators Assessment for policyMultidisciplinary (natural and social) science expert group helps in
identification of available global data sets, model outputs, & to develops methodologies for combining them into indicators/maps

Value to Stakeholders?
•More flexible development environment;
•More up-to-date & more focused indicators for ocean ecosystems;
•Better inform policy & management strategy, as well as to raise attention on importance of monitoring;
•Provide services for implementing extension points towards GEOSS capability
Various Stakeholders: decision-makers, developers of ocean assessments, ocean scientists & value
adding companies.

Coral Reefs – Threats from Local Activity (2011)
Coral ecosystem services: food, income, habitat for commercially viable fish species, tourism, shoreline protection
Corals at risk from both local stressors (over-/destructive fishing, coastal development, watershed and marine-based pollution) & climate change &
variability (temperature stress, ocean acidification, fast sea level rise)Local stressors: blue-low, yellow-medium, red-high

Scenario - TASKS
•Vulnerability of corals to local sea level change is greater than their potential growth rates
•Regional sea level rise projections vary tremendously
•Need to combine
1. Ocean ecosystem data: coral reef location & vulnerabilities (WRI)
2. Climate data: sea level rise projections from present out to 50 years (WCRP/CMIP5) – require ensemble calculations
•Calculations refining indicators
PRODUCT:Maps & graphics

A Vision For GEOSS• Present situation
– expert scientific advice identifies the required datasets
– discovery: we can look in the GEO portal, but most data required is already known
– data usage rights are dealt with each individual provider if there are restrictions
– downloads of individual datasets to local computing (repeatedly in case of evolving indicators)
– calculations: on individual datasets, mostly for each needed spatial reference system transforms
– heavy algorithm management & chaining for each host workflow & data input
– web platforms designed to specific audiences, but live only as long as the project
• Future GEOSS infrastructure?

HOW IT WORKS: 1. Cloud Sandbox Provisioning
• Scientist browses data & services using its Community Portal extensions & selects experiment resources: datasets URLs, development tools
• Once done, the Community Portal triggers the creation of a complete Virtual Machine (VM): a Cloud Sandbox development environment

For an experiment: keystore, user disk, application
disk, datasets URL references… into a sandbox

HOW IT WORKS: 2. Data & Processor Validation
• Still from Community Portal, the Scientist instructs the ‘VM Store’ to boot a managed instance of the newly created developer’s Sandbox
• Scientist develops & validates algorithms within its Cloud Sandbox, with access to dataset samples required for application testing
1822/11/2012 GEO - IX
Digital Earth Communities
• After validation, Scientist deploys algorithms to a selected Cloud Infrastructure
• The deployed ‘Processor as a Service’ accesses complete pools of datasets, runs application intensive computing, & stores processor outputs back to the lab
HOW IT WORKS: 3. Cloud Compute Provisioning

Digital Earth Communities
HOW IT WORKS: 4. Sharing of Scientific Experiments & Results
• Scientist readily shares its Sandbox VM work (can include GCI registration) with the scientific community for repeatable scientific experiments
• Data Product results are registered in the GCI, & shared towards decision makers through Community Portals

• Future GEOSS infrastructure?– expert scientific advice identifies the
required datasets– assembly: needed datasets are
assembled on demand into the GEOSS infrastructure (into a cloud?)
– data usage rights are globally registered for scientific use of cloud computing infrastructures
– data as a service can live & remain ‘in the cloud’, for the application of algorithms and calculation of indicators
– calculations: modular infrastructure components allow the exchange and reuse of scientist’s workspaces
– repeatable environments allow for easy updates (in time or with new concepts) & scientific sharing
– interactive ‘live’ web platform output maps & graphics readily part of the GCI: a legacy for other users

Benefits for generic scenarios
• A specific example that can be generalized, eg:– adding projections of ocean acidification– combining sea level projections & detailed human population
projections for indicators of vulnerability– mapping human impact (climate, fishing) on ocean biodiversity
concentration to identify ‘hotspots’– addressing indicators of ‘good environmental status’ under the EU
Marine Strategy Framework Directive– creating indicators of water scarcity & human dependence from
hydrological & social data
• Temporary infrastructure needed; no need to maintain daily computing infrastructure & sharing results and tools with the wider GEOSS community

An exciting future!
•The coral reef scenario presents a real demonstration of:– Easily producing relevant & accurate assessment indicators for
use by policy makers;– Using completely scalable cloud computing to process
extensive algorithms;– Setting up a domain for ‘repeatable’ calculations; &– Using the latest computing technology to assist ocean
management decisions.
The methods can be translated easily to other ocean & earth science contexts to improve environmental
management decisions & ultimately, sustainable development.
