Experimental Program to Stimulate Competitive Research Hawai'i
Cyberinfrastructure for Environmental Research & Education
In order to execute the Project objectives and achieve the stated outcome, the CERE FAST Team will focus on two interrelated Research Agendas: 1) Wireless Sensor Networks and Interactive Data Systems & Repositories for Environmental Monitoring, and 2) Hawaiian Socioecological Systems (SES) Research Sites & Collaboration.
In Agenda 1, CERE researchers will further develop innovative solutions for near real-time sensor-based environmental monitoring able to track a range of environmental variables in Hawaiian mountain-to-sea environments and integrate these data into a Hawaii EPSCoR-based "Enterprise Information System" (EIS). The EIS development will include mirrored servers to store, integrate, and protect information from "distributed databases" that may be accessed by researchers (and the general public) through a "registered user database". Capability for diverse analyses, complex data visualizations / modeling of EIS data will be improved upon through further development of a NASA World Wind / InteleView-based software platform. In Agenda 2, CERE researchers will demonstrate real-life applications of the CERE (developed in Agenda 1) in "use case examples" involving Project Partners and UH researchers in Hawaiian socioecological systems.
