The NEREA Augmented Observatory: an integrative approach to marine coastal ecology
This post shares the story behind our recent Scientific Data paper, detailing the creation of the NEREA Augmented Observatory. Discover how we overcame challenges, innovated data collection, and collaborated to advance marine ecological research in the Gulf of Naples.
Why we crowdsourced 5000 Amazon shoppers’ purchases: the value of open e-commerce research
What can e-commerce platforms infer from purchase data? Can this data be used to estimate economic indicators? How do online marketplaces impact local retail? How do different people change their purchasing behavior in response to economic shocks?
Tibetan Plateau Runoff and Evapotranspiration Dataset by an observation-constrained cryosphere-hydrology model
Fan, X., Wang, L., Liu, H. et al. Tibetan Plateau Runoff and Evapotranspiration Dataset by an observation-constrained cryosphere-hydrology model. Sci Data 11, 773 (2024). https://doi.org/10.1038/s41597-024-03623-3
Site-specific optimal air temperature for vegetation photosynthesis across the globe
Increasing air temperature enhances photosynthesis but can reduce it at high levels. Using MODIS-EVI and ERA5 data, we estimated Topt-site globally at 500m resolution, revealing significant within-biome variation. This dataset can improve GPP simulations in ecosystem models.
