Full description
A climate change impact projection tool that uses a graphical method of demonstrating the future impact of climate change on computed biodiversity (see the current Wallace Initiate development site: https://wwftest.hpc.jcu.edu.au/wallace/). Specifically it will:
-
Enable the reuse of research computed and observed species range data to inform both current and future environmental impact based on a variety of IPCC forecasted climate scenarios and models.
-
Allow end-users to specify which datasets (from a subset of those available in the TDH) will be used by the EIS application.
-
Provide visualisation of selected datasets and overlay these with visualisations of projected datasets under a variety of IPCC forecasted climate scenarios and models.
-
Integration with the EIS tool to enable a variety of data to be gathered and provide an overall impact of climate changes.
-
The tool will allow both raster and vector data sources to be visualised simultaneously e.g. hydrology data (vector based) and species distribution data (raster based).
-
Pre-process data where necessary to improve performance.
-
Visualisation will be available via the web .
