Building Regional Capacities for GEOSS and INSPIRE: a journey in the Black Sea Catchment

Author 1: Gregory Giuliani Author 2: Nicolas Ray Author 3: Anthony Lehmann

To understand environmental systems like the Black Sea catchment, it is required to gather and integrate different datasets. However, data discoverability, accessibility and integration are among the most frequent difficulties that scientists are regularly facing. To tackle these issues, capacity building (at human, institutional, and technical levels) is recognized as… Read full abstract & cite →

OWS4SWAT: Publishing and Sharing SWAT Outputs with OGC standards

Author 1: Gregory Giuliani Author 2: Kazi Rahman Author 3: Nicolas Ray Author 4: Anthony Lehmann

The Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) is a widely used hydrological model that produces several useful outputs (e.g. evapotranspiration, soil moisture, aquifer recharge, river discharge) as text files. Currently, visualizing and publishing SWAT outputs as geospatial data requires a lot of time and repetitive processing steps. Moreover, data used… Read full abstract & cite →
