Digital science laboratory

We want to maximise the discoverability of UKGEOS data. This involves understanding which formats are most useful, how to best describe our datasets and available data services. We are also exploring how to group or seperate related data to be of most use. We aim to use Geonetwork as the framework to make all our data discoverable in a single place.

As well as static datasets, we will also develop a range of open web services that not only power our applications but also provide others with access to continuously collected datasets. The Sensor API is an spplication programming interface for continuously collected environmental data from range of sensors monitoring groundwater chemistry and temperatures. Described using the OpenAPI documentation standard we are looking for data scientists and software engineers to provide feedback on this service.

The scanned core images are ultra high-resolution and downloading all of them for a single borehole might take a long time. To allow the researchers to browse the images more easily, we are hosting them on IIPImage Server . Use the core scan images viewer to find and preview the high-resolution scanned core images.
