Big Data and Environmental Sustainability for Biodiversity Issues |
|
|
|
|
|
Biodiversity is threatened on a global scale and the many losses of different species are happening. Many contributions have been performed towards collecting, integrating and analyzing the large amounts of fragmented and diverse biodiversity data to determine the current status and trends of biodiversity in order to conserve the data. Big environmental data is one of the main challenging research areas because of its effect on biodiversity. Kinds of datasets vary between digital formats, long data, and “wide” data, such as water, soil, and tissue samples measured for chemistry, toxicity, and historical site photos. In this talk, big data and environmental sustainability will be discussed to illustrate research challenges in this area related to biodiversity, focusing on biodialog project. |
