- Data lakes for ecosystem modelling: Thursday 6 June (9:00-12:00)
This workshop will showcase the data available in EMODnet and CMEMS and how this data are being combined into the Data Lake for the European Digital Twin of the Ocean (EDITO). This data can be very valuable to people creating models of ecosystems around the world, as both EMODnet and CMEMS have data layers spanning the world. They will also discuss their work on integrating the two data services for the EDITO and how it is linked to the other data in the EDITO-Infrastructure.
The workshop will be free, and you can register your participation here: https://forms.gle/np6hi19nyT575UkA6
- Science-Policy workshop: Upscaling marine ecosystem models to implement EU plans and Directives: Thursday 6 June (13:00-16:00)
In this workshop examples of Ecopath with Ecosim (EwE) models from different EU funded projects will be used to highlight how the software can and has been used to help policy makers, from the work done by JRC to get the models ready to improve the MSFD; to ways of keeping human activities compatible with both MSFD and CFP; by using spatial modelling to address climate change, the Nature Restoration Law and the Biodiversity strategy; and by highlighting how EwE models can enhance the Digital Twin of the Ocean through end-to-end modelling. The workshop will end with a discussion on how what more do policy makers need, and how the models can be linked to the EDITO.
The workshop agenda is available here.
