*.xml files are uploaded to SAGA GIS toolchains 'Files' from where they can be downloaded: https://sourceforge.net/projects/saga-gis-rhotoolchains/files/ SAGA-GIS-toolchain_Burned_area.xml ___is presented in GitHub: https://github.com/RhoSpatial/Saga-gis-toolchain-for-burned-area-mapping- VIIRS_snow_tool_FINAL7.xml ___is a toolchain for snow cover retrival from VIIRS instrument imagery (NASA), input is study area cloud free VNP09GA product and DEM in GQ(nom 250m) resolution, it was developed to make high accurate snow cover analytics on Atlas mountains(Morocco). It was tested in 2017/18 snow season(output grids are available: mih.zemva@gmail.com). It is fairly complicated but not as much as toolchain for MODIS(not uploaded) with MOD09.. products input . * in line 139 polygon *.shp must be linked from drive; it's an additional retrieval of index values to monitor waterbodies and does not relate to snow cover analytics

Sandia National Laboratories’ (SNL) environmental assessment modeling tool helps optimize the design of MHK-turbine array layouts within ocean, tidal, and river systems to balance energy generation efficiency with environmental considerations. The new tool, SNL-EFDC, is an augmented version of US EPA’s Environmental Fluid Dynamics Code (EFDC) and includes; (1) a new module that simulates energy conversion (momentum withdrawal) by MHK turbine-like devices including commensurate changes in the turbulent kinetic energy and turbulent kinetic energy dissipation rate, (2) new, advanced sediment dynamics routines, and (3) augmented water quality modules. SNL-EFDC has been verified and validated against flume measurements of flow around sub-scale turbines and actuator disks.

The Scenario Data Selector is a Perl script that serves up scenario data on the web. Users can browse data and choose to show by value or as growth rates or indices. Data can be shown by region or indicator - the script takes care of regional aggrega

SimAssem is a tool for investigating the performances of species richness estimators across widely ranging assemblages and survey designs. Assemblages are simulated by specifying the: 1) number of species, 2) total abundance of individuals, 3) abundance distribution, 4) spatial configuration, 5) species detection probabilities, 6) survey design, and 7) number of grid cells to survey (out of a square grid comprised of 10,000 cells). SimAssem also processes existing encounter data and formats existing and simulated encounter data for other programs. SimAssem, along with the open source code, will hopefully give researchers and managers a tool for assessing the development of new estimators and evaluating potential decisions in a simulated environment. More information on SimAssem is given in Chapter 2, 'SimAssem: a program for simulating species assemblages and estimating species richness', in the dissertation 'Simulating species assemblages and evaluating species richness estimators'.

Idea of the project is to create a tool, the Connector, to access the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) software SimaPro via the COM interface.

SiSS(Size Structure Sumilator) Ecological Modeling Simulation for inter-scale model between Individual model and size structure model.

A Silverlight framework that makes it easy to develop games and applications simulating creatures that interacts with eachother.

Sowseed is a browser based application using Apache, PHP and Mysql. Seeds are sown into trays which are numbered and barcoded. Against each seed tray the species are recorded along with the google map link of this location. There is a need for seed growers to preserve many varieties of heirloom seeds in order to maintain biodiversity. Several small groups hooked into the same database can benefit from a collaborative effect ensuring the greatest range of rare seeds are sown. Entries can be linked together so if seedling thinning has been carried out the original planting of that seed can be accessed. The barcodes can be scanned by an Android phone and the details of the sowing recalled. The species list is user defined with the option of providing a url for each entry so the characteristics of the plant can be readily accessed.

Symbiota Virtual Flora/Fauna project is an open source software project with central goals of developing online search engines and tools that will aid in the exploration & management of biodiversity data (herbarium specimens, images, checklist, etc)

This project will produce a formal, open source System Dynamics information model specification document to rigorously define the set of model objects, their relationships, their attributes, and the operations performed during modeling and simulation.

Project at https://github.com/arcanericky/thermorbios953w Developers are encouraged to fork and request pulls as my personal weather station has seen better days. Thermor / BIOS BW953 and BW976 Weather Station daemon for Linux.

Token server reference implementation for the TorBank anonymous virtual currency system, useable via TOR onion routing or the WWW. Includes the bank-network backend server, a web frontend for end users, and a library for payment and online transactions.

That project aims at providing a clean API, and the corresponding C++ implementation, able to generate demand for travel solutions (e.g., from JFK to PEK on 25-05-2009) according to characteristics (e.g., Willingness-To-Pay, preferred airline, etc).

Framework for storing and editing Forestry-related XML data, with a specialised graphical interface for each object type. Plug-in API for adding functionality. Coded in Java, uses WebStart for distribution, swing GUI, ~100k lines of code.

This trilateration routine will do anchor-free localization and distance estimation for nodes in a 2-D arrangement, where each node knows only distance information to as few as three other nodes. This code has been used for population biology studies.

UIBM (= Universal Individual-Based Model) is an agent-based simulation/3d-dvisualization of the dynamics within multispecies plant communities of Northwest Europe, parameterized from databases using universal scaling laws.

The VIP Toolbox is a set of libraries and tools to enable researchers to process image data from the VEGETATION and other remote sensing sensors.

VirtuSwarm is a WIP project consisting of virtual, non-thinking 'particles' that will inhabit a folder. There, they will live, evolve via their own genetic code, and die. VirtuSwarm is a research project for biomimicry and game theory.

Artificial life simulation where computer programs (virtual organisms or VOs for short) compete on a grid for computer time. May the most intelligent VO win!

VVG is a software that generates 3D scenes containing high poly models of growing plants. Renders are done via Yafaray and combined to create videos.

WHATCH’EM simulates the highly non-linear manner in which atmospheric conditions and container characteristics determine water temperature and height, leading to results that are not always intuitive and likely not simulated by simpler empirical models. WHATCH’EM has the capacity to be utilized for other mosquitoes and other container-inhabiting arthropods.

A Java system to decode the WMO BUFR format for weather data and translate it to XML.

A collection of Dashboard Widgets generally focused on displaying information provided by the United States Geological Survey (USGS). Examples include river levels information of interest to whitewater kayakers amongst others.
