Reference Use Cases
The GDDS has identified 5 use cases in the first phase of the project
GOS4M
GOS4M will develop IT applications which will be based on observations, model outputs and web tools to exploit the wealth of data made available through platforms like, for example Copernicus DIAS and GEO Knowledge Hub.
PCR-GLOBWB
PCR-GLOBWB 2 is a grid-based global hydrology and water resources model devloped at Utrecht University. The computational grid has a 5 arc-minute resolution (~10 km at the equator) and covers all continents except Greenland and Antarctica.
Time steps for hydrology and water use are one-day, while the internal time stepping for hydrodynamic river routing is variable. For each grid cell and each time step, PCR-GLOBWB 2 simulates moisture storage as well as the water exchange between the soil, atmosphere and underlying groundwater reservoir.
BioGIS 360
BioGIS 360 is a fundamental tool for biodiversity monitoring, developed by iptsat in collaboration with the Department of Environmental Biology (DEB) of La Sapienza University of Rome offering “one-stop shop” data research for all those seeking authoritative information on biodiversity worldwide (or at national level).
BioGIS 360 provides to companies an essential aid with the integration of considerations, reporting and biodiversity maps in their decision making aspects, in order to simplify the information exchange and promptly mitigate and manage the possible environmental impacts during the works planning
EPOS, the European Plate Observing System, is a multidisciplinary, distributed research infrastructure that facilitates the integrated use of data, data products, and facilities from the solid Earth science community in Europe.
A long-term marine data initiative for in situ marine environmental and human activities data, funded by the European Maritime, Fisheries and Aquaculture Fund, bringing on board marine ecosystem
