Niche Analyst (NicheA) was developed based on the BAM framework which allows users to create virtual spaces and virtual species, and to analyze ecological niches in both multivariate environmental and geographic spaces, linking views of the niche in the two spaces. The unique functionality in NicheA, not available in other software programs, is estimating Grinnellian niches of species based on environmental variables and occurrence records, but with a clear focus on fundamental ecological...

hSDM is an R package for hierarchical species distribution models. Such models allows interpreting the observations (occurrence and abundance of a species) as a result of several hierarchical processes including ecological processes (habitat suitability, spatial dependence and anthropogenic disturbance) and observation processes (species detectability). Hierarchical species distribution models are essential for accurately characterizing the environmental response of species, predicting their...

The aim of this project is to create an automated pipeline for taxonomic assignment of DNA sequences obtained from environmental samples. We develop a series of python scripts to process the raw sequence data obtained from benthic environmental samples and to taxonomical assignment of these sequences and finally to integrate all data in a relational database.

GIS data for Greece has been scarce. This project aims to provide methods, instructions and data for the construction of environmental maps of Greece with the help of open source GIS tools.

Simulates data from a gaussian/beta/piecewise-linear species response function on an environmental gradient, with different sampling (error) distributions. See "Cline (biology)" on wikipedia.org.

The Life Cycle Assessment Spreadsheet allows you to calculate carbon footprints and other environmental impacts for given product systems. Use requires basic skills in LCA and matrix algebra, but rewards effort with professional analytical tools.

EDAS2 is a web-based environmental quality data management and decision support framework

The service takes advantage of the environmental control networks existing along the city of Bilbao and the indicators elaborated by their data. These networks consist in a number of networked meteorological stations metering atmospheric variables and other related to pollution, level of pollen in the air, etc. The system uses other data sources in order to provide the user with a complete information overview, including predictions, and taking account predictive simulation and risk...
