TEAM 13: Arctic Geodata and Fishery Statistics

TEAM LEADER: Torill Hamre (NERSC)

TEAM MEMBERS: Bente Lilja Bye (BLB), Arnfinn Morvik (IMR)

PROJECT IDEA:  The targeted area is sustainable aquaculture and bio-economy. We want to combine different types of met-ocean data (e.g. ice edge, SST) and fishery statistics to investigate potential links between climate change and activity in the polar region in and around Svalbard. We will evaluate if the FAIR principles are met for the chosen variables, using Copernicus, BarentsWatch and other open data resources. Accessibility and functionality of the related APIs will be assessed, and whether the chosen APIs can jointly provide new information.
