Bringing the state of the North Devon UNESCO Biosphere to life

SmartBiosphereHydrographs800x600

Key features

Integrate live sensor data from across the North Devon Biosphere

SoilSensorMeasurements800x600

Bring together data from existing sources, citizen science and ad-hoc monitoring

KickSampling800x600

Using the integrated sensor network provide traceable monitoring, reporting and verification data for water, soil and biodiversity quality.

SmartBiosphereStormOverflow800x600

Working with a range of stakeholders, alongside the North Devon Biosphere, provide a rigorous data platform covering all aspects affecting Northern Devon

To date much environmental monitoring is siloed to specific domains or application areas. We aim to integrate data across domains, and space-time scales to enable a more complete understanding of the state of the natural environment across Northern Devon, and then provide tools to interpret and visualise this, customised to each stakeholder.

The Smart Biosphere Components

Building the tools

Integrate sensors across the biosphere

Provide a platform to integrate data from a range of sensors (and other measurement options) across the North Devon Biosphere.

An extensible and integrated data platform

Using best in class existing solutions, integrate storage for specimen, sample, sensor and remote sensing data across land, water, air and biosphere.

Customised dashboards for stakeholders

Using the integrated data provide customised views and summaries creating stakeholder specific dashboards focussing on the core data relevant to their interests.

Rigorous reporting for scientists

Provide advanced data exploration, visualisation and modelling capabilities for domain experts wanting to explore the integrated data in greater detail, with support for uncertainty quantification.
