Ocean Fertilization by Atmospheric Dust
Oceanic Biomass by Phytoplankton
Evidence of Chlorophyll Enhancement by Dust
N. Pacific Ocean
Bishop et al.(2002), Science
Phytoplankton produce most of the oceanic
biomass through photosynthesis
E. Mediterranean
Photosynthesis by chlorophyll has been shown to
increase with atmospheric dust fertilization
However, precipitation, the wind and many other factors also influence the production of chlorophyll
A scientific challenge is to quantify the chlorophyll-dust relationship

Summary
• GEOSS System of Systems architecture is suitable for integrating data
across geographical, disciplinary and organizational boundaries.
• The current data access standardization is very spotty and fragile but
non-intrusive mediator services can bridge the interoperability gaps.
• Interoperability demonstrations are key steps toward configurable,
robust data flow and processing networks.

Demonstration/presentation by Robert Thomas
GeoWeb Portal Candidate Presentation
• Committed to Standards
• Our Vision of the GeoWeb Portal
• The Compusult WES GeoWeb Portal
A suite of applications providing a real-time, web-based, geospatially enabled portal to
provide centralized interoperability, discovery, collaboration, sharing, access and
management over highly disparate information.
• How WES is Currently Used
– Selected Organizations using Web Enterprise Suite
• WES GeoWeb Portal Architecture Overview
• WES supports the following standards:
• WES Platform Independence
– WES X software components have been designed and implemented to operate across multiple
platforms. Operating Systems currently supported:
• WES: The Total Geospatial Portal Solution
• GeoWeb Portlets included in WES
– Discovery, Discovery agents, Viewer, Publisher, Administration, Colaboration, Other
• Benefits of a WES GeoWeb Portal

Demonstration overview
• 1st role - need for study - development in a region
– initial problem scoping with focus on discovery of data sets,
establish AOI and saving as context
– Could start with news story report using geoRSS (Robert)
– Sends context document to analyst/researchers
• 2nd role: relation of development to caribou
– accepting context document, adding additional data and layers to
help evaluate problem statement.
– something like how might caribou migrations be affected by changes
in permafrost, roads, etc.
– be sure to include polar projections
• 3rd role: butterfly biodiversity
– Existing demo from INAA-CNR
Helping the World to Communicate
Geographically
Part 1 - problem statement (Doug e-mail)
• 1. Where is the highest potential for oil-gas development in
areas that are not currently developed? Show energy
geologic provinces of potential. Show existing oil-gas
development. Show existing leases. Show land status
(protected lands, open lands, etc).
• 2. Identify areas that could be economically accessed as
extensions to existing infrastructure (pipelines, roads) that
are not protected lands.
• 3. Identify caribou migration patterns and discern any
potential conflicts of territory.
• 4. Identify snow cover, surface temperature, and vegetation
patterns relative to the migration of the caribou. Are there
cause-effect patterns or pressures on the migration?
Helping the World to Communicate
Geographically
Scenario Ideas - Robert
• 1) possible oil pipeline may cross Caribou migration routes. Prompts investigation into the
effects on Caribou migration from Energy Exploration/Development in combination with
Climate change Issues. A totally fictional (geo)RSS feed
• 2) Robert contacts Greg because I knew he had some new pipeline data from the start of
the environmental assessment.
– Greg: You would have to mock-up some pipeline data going from the east end of Great Slave
Lake to the Beaufort Sea.
– Greg could save this as a context and send it back to me.
• 3) We would perform additional discovery of the Caribou migration layers, ice extents,
vegetation etc. These layers could be then added to Google Earth (GE) as the analysis
client (at this point our client and map server doesn't support the Polar Projection).
Basically, we could show the different seasonally migration and ice extents, plus any
other relevant layers, in switch able layers on GE.
• 4) Scientific Analysis: Now it gets into the scientific analysis and I would be way out of my
depth to suggest anything here.
• 5) Conclusions: Building a pipe line when combined with climate change creates a risk to
Carbou calving areas???????

2. Research oriented scenario ideas - Terry
• we need to broaden our approach in this scenario.
– Most of the biodiversity issues have very subtle long term
cause/effect relationships that require examination of data from
many sources and interpretation by applications experts.
• storyline in this scenario could be that we put the tools in
the hands of the applications experts to bring together
many disparate datasets (including time series')
– We may not know if there is a correlation of significance between
datasets but our tools allow the applications experts to study these
data in ways that have not been possible in the past.
• The sea ice is a case in point. While the correlation
between sea ice and caribou migration is not obvious, the
caribou calving grounds are very close to the sea coast.
Maybe there is a connection here?

Response from subject matter expert to the scenario in this

Good stuff. Is there a way to change the projection so
that the North is not so distorted... changing projection will greatly
help grab the northern audience... Cheers

Data servers - Dougs
• Turns out that the NWT also has some more detailed
geologic data in a map viewer but it's not clear that map
services are exposed. Should know more tomorrow. They
*do* have good metadata on the data set (not the service)
that is accessible through the Discovery Portal. Things are
coming together... - Doug Nebert
• The Yukon also has an available map viewer and WMS,
although I do not know if this covers your area of interest...

climate is still advancing,
– Address interoperability arrangements for decision support
tools and predictive models used around the globe to
support policy and management decisions.

GEOSS Demos Lessons Learned
• Application-specific demos are a great way to engage with user communities that would
not necessarily look to OGC standards.
• Emphasize message about using distributed components with open standards vs.
standalone application
• Tremendous enthusiasm and commitment of agencies and research groups to
collaborate
• Demo provides a fast-track to skills development and knowledge transfer.
• Live demo is compelling but dependent upon communications networks that may not be
reliable at workshops
• Live demo should be accompanied by a pre-recorded demo
• Presentation of the demo works best with two projectors: one for the client application,
the other for a powerpoint presentation explanation
• Start early to get satellite data
• Desirable to involve participants from the local region
• Keep it simple, focus on the magic of interoperability
• GEOSS Demos are persistent using OGC Network
