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...

BioSARN (Biological Species Approximate Realized Niche) refines environmental niche model output using topographic, soil and land class filtering, enhanced temporal corridor definition, niche area quantification and output to a high spatial resolution land class model. This is a Java™ Desktop MicroSoft Windows Application with a simple GUI. Preferably BioSARN should be used with 64-bit Java and a substantial RAM as the application reads input files into memory to minimize compute times.

BETR-Research (BETRS) is a modelling framework to create spatially resolved multimedia models for the environmental fate- and transport of chemical contaminants. It is intended to serve the research community and can be used as a teaching tool.

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.

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...

The EDAM ENCHILADA - The Exploratory Data Analysis and Management Project's Environmental Chemistry Data Processing and Mining Application.

Comunidata reads a table with abundance data for different species in different points, as well as environmental data for each point. Then it sorts the species according to its pondered mean along the environmental gradient, and shows the graph.

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

EcoGeographica is a system that allows field naturalists and scientists to collate and distribute ecological and environmental data, images and files. See www.ecogeographica.net for more details.

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...
