The CAML BiPolar Macroscope summary layers are available from our shared folder. These layers are bipolar climatological and other summary layers that may be useful for purposes such as general modelling, regionalisation, and exploratory analyses. All of the layers in this collection are provided on a consistent 0.1-degree grid, which covers -180 to 180E, 80S … Continue reading CAML BiPolar Macroscope summary layers available

Making Data Maximally Available
Science is driven by data. New technologies have vastly increased the ease of data collection and consequently the amount of data collected, while also enabling data to be independently mined and reanalyzed by others. Society now relies on scientific data of diverse kinds; for example, in responding to disease outbreaks, managing resources, responding to climate … Continue reading Making Data Maximally Available

New Dataset: Biogeographic distribution of the Antarctic and Sub-Antarctic brachiopods (living forms)
The only Antarctic review about brachiopods has been done by Forster in 1974. Since about 100 publications dealing with living Antarctic brachiopods have been issued and nearly 50 on fossil Antarctic brachiopods, until 2009. The classification of the Brachiopoda has been basically changed in 1996 and developed in the 6 volumes of the “Treatise” (1997-2007). … Continue reading New Dataset: Biogeographic distribution of the Antarctic and Sub-Antarctic brachiopods (living forms)
