The CPR Data Infrastructure Project will enable rapid and accurate data entry, analysis, visualization, and publication using global standards for marine biological data.
The MBA has partnered with SUVO, a software development company specializing in creating online platforms and mobile and web applications based at Alma Yard in Plymouth.
Together the project team will produce a cloud-based data management and publication solution which will provide marine biologists with a robust, scalable, and secure data infrastructure.
Peter Hannon, Co-Founder of SUVO, said: “We are honored to join forces with the Marine Biological Association on this groundbreaking project. The CPR Survey is a critical undertaking in understanding the health of our oceans, and we believe that our partnership will provide researchers with an advanced software platform to accelerate data processing and improve decision-making. This collaboration is an excellent example of how technology can further scientific progress and contribute to a sustainable future.”
Driven by almost a century of sustained plankton observations, scientific excellence and innovation, the Continuous Plankton Recorder (CPR) Survey is a globally recognized leader on the impacts of environmental change on the health of our ocean.
