Slides from Cybera Summit 2010 Presentation: Collaborative Science: Technologies & Examples

Presentation I gave at Cybera Summit 2010 in Banff, AB (September 21 - 22, 2010). Discusses different Web 2.0 / social networking technologies that can enable collaborative science and example uses of these technologies as part of collaborative science portals/gateways. Examples include a few projects that the Grid Research Centre at the University of Calgary is involved in including: GeoChronos, CyberSKA and WaterCloud - all of these projects make use of the Elgg open source social networking platform.

GeoChronos Presentation/Demonstration given at SpecNet Workshop 2009.

I gave a presentation and demonstration of the GeoChronos platform at the SpecNet Workshop on June 22, 2009 in Lethbridge, Alberta, Canada as part of the 30th Canadian Symposium on Remote Sensing. GeoChronos is an on-line platform for earth observation scientists, being developed by the Grid Research Centre, that is aimed at promoting collaboration and sharing of data and applications. The project is being funded as part of the CANARIE Network Enabled Platforms (NEP) Program. SpecNet builds on the existing capabilities of the flux tower network (FLUXNET) by adding spectral measurements to existing flux tower sites at a range of ecosystems around the world. It is a contributing organization to the GeoChronos project.
