GEOSS GBIF IP3 (Interoperability Process Pilot Project) Main Objectives Begin implementing GEOSS Clearinghouse and testing the processes Lead up to a suite of demonstrations at a GEO Plenary Implement a service register for different SBA Biodiversity is one of these Scenarios for interoperability between Biodiversity and Climate Change SBAs nativi@imaa.cnr.it

The Demonstration solutions nativi@imaa.cnr.it

Adopted solutions Write a formal and expanded use scenario Use GBIF portal web services to access and retrieve the biodiversity data Access and retrieve NCAR Climate Change data via OGC WCS Interoperability with GBIF and Climate registries using GI-go/GI-cat federated catalog and Mediation Server (mapping to the ISO 19115 core metadata) Use the Open Modeller ENM framework through its SOAP functionalities Put together an AJAX based demonstrator user interface nativi@imaa.cnr.it

1. Write a formal and expanded use scenario Modeling the impact of climate change on the distribution of the butterflies of Canada and Alaska Scientific name = amblyscirtes vialis Species taxonomy: Animalia ->arthropoda ->insecta ->lepidoptera ->hesperiidae ->amblyscirtes ->amblyscirtes vialis nativi@imaa.cnr.it

2. Use GBIF web services to access and retrieve the biodiversity data International organisation launced under the OECD Megascience Forum in 2001 40 countries, 33 int’l organisations members Network of primary data 200 providers in 30 countries, connecting over 1000 databases, 124 million records of in-situ observations GBIF has integrated 118 million primary biodiversity records from about 1000 databases Building on Biodiversity Informatics Standards (www.tdwg.org) Darwin Core, ABCD, DiGIR, BioCASE, TAPIR, ... MoU with OGC Infrastructure UDDI Registry, Data Portal, Cache of all data, Web Services GBIF Central Data Portal supports data validation and cleaning tasks nativi@imaa.cnr.it

3. Access and retrieve via OGC WCS Climate Change data Data Source GIS Climate Change Scenarios project conducted by the NCAR GIS Initiative Provide Web access to free global datasets of climate change scenarios generated for the 4th Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) by the Community Climate System Model (CCSM). http://www.gisclimatechange.org Served through a WCS server Downloaded from the NCAR GIS portal Processed to generate Grid Coverages Uploaded data and metadata to a WCS 1.0 server nativi@imaa.cnr.it

3. Access and retrieve via OGC WCS Climate Change data Climate model outputs considered Time Present situation in: 2000 Future situations in: 2010, 2020, 2030, 2040, 2050 1 month of resolution Space 1 x 1 degree of resolution Parameters TS Surface Temperature PRW Atmosphere Water Vapor Content PR Precipitation Flux PRSN Snow Fall Flux CLWVI Atmosphere Cloud Condensed Water Content MRRO Runoff Flux MRSO Soil Moisture Content Minimum and maximum monthly average surface temperatures are generated nativi@imaa.cnr.it

Three Possible Climate Change scenarios They are governed by different values of different forcing factors nativi@imaa.cnr.it Source: NCAR/GIS http://www.gisclimatechange.org

4. Interoperability with GBIF and climatological registries Unique and consistent interface for resource discovery and query Mediation to a unique Metadata Model: ISO 19115 core profile Ecological Niche Model Server Discovery Download Download In order to expose a unique discovery and query interface GI-cat/GI-go In-situ Biodiversity Records Climatological and Environmental Data GBIF Registry WCS Registry nativi@imaa.cnr.it

5. Run ENM using the OpenModeller Framework A technique called Ecological Niche Modelling (ENM) The scientific approach for using primary biodiversity data for studying adaptation to various climate change scenarios has been created by Peterson & al. (2001, 2002). A flexible, user friendly, cross platform environment where the entire process of conducting a fundamental niche modeling experiment can be carried out. Apply GARP, BioClim and other models Ecological Niches Categorical Climate Maps Distributional Shifts Region Shift Distributional Shifts in Ecological Niches nativi@imaa.cnr.it
