The continuous growth of Earth System data, coupled with its inherent heterogeneity and the challenges associated with distributed data centers, necessitates a robust framework for efficient and secure data analysis. This abstract outlines the plans to implement an analysis framework within the marine data portal of the German Marine Research Alliance (Deutsche Allianz Meeresforschung, DAM) at...
Large language models can summarize, aggregate, and convey localized climate-related data. We have built a simple, proof-of-concept prototype and argue that the approach holds the potential to truly democratize climate information.
In 2019, German marine research, together with the federal government and the northern German states of Bremen, Hamburg, Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, Lower Saxony, and Schleswig-Holstein, established the German Alliance for Marine Research (DAM). With this initiative, Germany has launched one of the world's largest marine research alliances.
The goal of DAM is to strengthen the sustainable...
Biogeographical research plays a pivotal role in understanding large-scale patterns of biodiversity, particularly concerning environmental change, human impacts, and sustainable ecosystem management. To conduct such research effectively, reliance on FAIR data is imperative. However, many data are not open-access and exist only in spreadsheets and local databases, which hinders the scientific...
Sea-ice plays an essential role in the Earth system and its impact on climate change is large. It cools the entire planet, affects ocean currents and offers a habitat for countless species. Nearly 7% of the ocean is covered by sea ice, but due to climate change, sea-ice is increasingly disappearing. Research into sea-ice is therefore an important scientific endeavor in order to understand the...
