On-line access to world-wide marine radioactivity data (MARiS) - PowerPoint PPT Presentation

On-line access to world-wide marine radioactivity data (MARiS) • ~175 000 data • 68 radionuclides • 58 years • 316 laboratories http://maris.iaea.org/

HELCOM MORS Environmental database • Data from HELCOM MORS 2016 release live in MARiS – 19,074 seawater records – 13,865 biota – 31,554 sediment

MARiS since MORS EG 6-2016 • Planning development/ upgrade • Strong possibility of additional staff resources starting 2017 for particular aspects, e.g. Japanese datasets • IAEA Coordinated Research Project K41017: Behaviour and Effects of Natural and Anthropogenic Radionuclides in the Marine Environment and their use as Tracers for Oceanography Studies – Starting Q2 2017 – Comprehensive global data compilation 2010 – 2015 • Participation in 2nd Global Earth Observation (GEO) Data Providers workshop – Fact-finding re: GEO, GEOSS, GCI etc. – Focus on improving access, discoverability and use of MARiS data – http://www.earthobservations.org – http://www.geoportal.org • Questions: Paul Morris (p.morris@iaea.org), Paul Mc Ginnity (p.mc- ginnity@iaea.org)
