Data

We led the development of the world's first set of occurrence records for Ecosystem Functional Groups. EcoTrain was designed to support modelling, validation and advancement of ecosystems maps.

Simultaneous mapping of mangrove, tidal flat and saltmarsh ecosystems. The first consistent global time-series for robust intertidal ecosystem monitoring and alerts. Read the Science paper here and visit the website to view the data here.

An open-access global training set of coastal ecosystems to support global analyses of distribution and change of the global coastal zone. Built in collaboration with the Global Mangrove Watch and Allen Coral Atlas teams. Learn more about coastTrain here and access the coastTrain GitHub repository here.

We host 20TB of analysis ready coastal covariate layers suitable for quickly developing and deploying novel remote sensing analyses at the global scale. Our experimental global aquaculture map has been run only once globally using our in-house coastal training sets, and is likely to benefit from substantial further model development.

A machine-learning analysis of over 700,000 satellite images to develop the first map of the global distribution and change of tidal flats over a 30-year period.
