Tools — Marine Geospatial Ecology Lab

The Marine Geospatial Ecology Lab, directed by Patrick Halpin, applies geospatial analysis to marine ecological problems.
Here are some links to tools that The Marine Geospatial Ecology Lab has been developing।


HabMod: Habitat Modeling Toolbox — by Ben Best — last modified 2007-03-07 06:01
Formerly called ArcRstats, this toolbox produces multivariate habitat prediction rasters using ArcGIS and the open-source R statistical package for implementing classification and regression (CART), generalized linear models (GLM) and generalized additive models (GAM).

ConnMod: Connectivity Modeling Toolbox — by Ben Best — last modified 2007-03-07 06:01
This ArcGIS toolbox allows for creation of a network connecting patches of habitat using a TIN and graph-theoretic algorithms from the NetworkX Python package.

MGET: Marine Geospatial Ecology Tools — by Ben Best — last modified 2007-03-07 06:04
Marine Geospatial Ecology Tools (MGET) is a collection of software tools targeted at coastal and marine researchers and GIS analysts who work with spatially-explicit oceanographic and ecological data in scientific or managerial workflows. The initial MGET releases focus on tools useful in habitat studies, including tools for processing and sampling remotely-sensed oceanographic data and mapping and filtering ARGOS satellite telemetry. Subsequent releases will include more advanced tools presently under development at Duke's Marine Geospatial Ecology Laboratory and elsewhere.

Marine Ecosystem-Based Management Tool Innovation Fund — by Ben Best — last modified 2007-03-07 06:10
Get funding for developing your own tools! We are overseeing a two year funding initiative by the David and Lucile Packard Foundation to stimulate the development and dissemination of creative software tools for Marine Ecosystem-Based Management.
