“Multi-temporal data driven analyses to support Biodiversity and Climate Change research” Harry Seijmonsbergen - Universiteit van Amsterdam (UvA) - The Netherlands

Use case 3 Goals / Big picture: - Combine data and expertise between Brazilian and European researchers to fill current gaps in biodiversity and climate change research - Provide a computational framework for studying the impact of biodiversity and climate change in Brazil using cloud computing services in Europe - Integrate multiple data sources for extracting key biodiversity and climate change Indicators - Cases: develop transparent, representative science-based information of two selected vulnerable areas in Brazil The semi-arid area: climate change indicators are cross-related with biodiversity indicators data and plant species occurrences data The Adolfo Ducke Forest near Manaus: study of 3D forest structure, biomass and biodiversity 20/10/14Cloudscape, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil 2
