A Look to the Future
« Developing the next generation of IPM tools – mobile applications for pest identification, monitoring and forecasting for sustainable and profitable crop production »
Dr. Barb Sharanowski
Mobile firstOccurrence observationsReal-time species distribution modellingIdentification keys
CFI Cyberinfrastructure Initiative
January 2015 Notice of intent (NOI). The CFI expects all institutions to identify collaboration with Compute Canada
June 2015 Full proposal due
Canadensys Wish List
1. Formal representation of NA research projects in GBIF Governance Model
2. Recognition of in-kind support
3. Shared development & hackathons• accelerate delivery of generic solutions• minimize duplication
