Open Source C# Ecosystem Sciences Software

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

INMS provides an easy to use interface to calculate basic parameters in drip irrigation in Tunisia. it uses FAO's CLIMWAT database to extract ETP values in Tunisian climate stations.

This software automates the data cleaning and error checking process of Lizard data logger (Activity Meter) CSV files while maintaining data integrity. It also provides the opportunity to clean and merge one or more lizards log files at once.

Metamodels provide a novel approach to species risk assessment in which diverse threats are addressed through different disciplines, act at different spatiotemporal scales, or interact in non-linear ways. A metamodel links multiple, discrete models that depict components of a complex system, governing the flow of information between models and the sequence of events in the simulation. Each discrete model simulates processes specific to its disciplinary realm while being informed of changes in other parts of the metamodel by accessing common descriptors of the system, populations, and individuals. Interactions among models are revealed as emergent properties of the system. MetaModel Manager is a platform to implement this approach for extending wildlife risk assessment beyond single-species PVA. MetaModel Manager allows any number of models representing species demography, diseases, landscapes, human actions, or other processes to be linked to models of population dynamics.

RS Downloader offers access to satellite image data pools. Via web interface the user is able to search and download specified satellite images. This version is an alpha and while running stable, currently only retrieves products from NASAs LP DAAC data pool (see https://lpdaac.usgs.gov/data_access/data_pool). Further versions will include updated parsers and spatial selection UIs to access other available sources.

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

An open source UI for the Millennium Institutes's Threshold 21 - North America (T21-NA) model written in C# using the Tao Framework.

Yggdrasill is a 3D phylogenetic tree visualization software based on the Unity 5 engine. Intended for educational and scientific purposes this demonstration release allows to display and explore evolutionary relationships between different terrestrial vertebrate species. Currently available features include procedural tree generation of evolutionary data provided by the Tree of Life (ToL) Web Project (http://tolweb.org/tree/), full three dimensional camera controls as well as a web search, an extinct species overlay and more. Later updates will include the full ToL dataset, improve tree generation and overall accessability, as well as adding access to other datasets. Special thanks go to the Tree of Life Web Project and all its contributors for providing the data and to Unity Technologies for free access to Unity 5.
