All Hands 2003

Conference Room 2
East Midlands Conference Centre
Nottingham

The National Institute for Environmental eScience (NIEeS) has organised a "Birds of a Feather" session at the 2003 All Hands meeting in Nottingham. The aim is to bring together all the environmental eScience groups for the first time, to discuss "Environmental eScience Applications". Each project will have a representative who will give a brief overview of the science and the technology behind their project. The overviews will then be followed by a discussion session on the common technological needs of these projects, and how these requirements might influence future Grid middleware developments.

Environmental scientists will see how eScience is being implemented, and middleware developers will have the opportunity to disover how the complexities of environmental sciences are the perfect testbed for Grid technologies.

The full breadth of environmental eScience projects will be represented by:

• Advanced Grid Interfaces for Environmental eScience in the Lab and in the Field (An Equator IRC project) web link
• Environment from the molecular level (eminerals) web link
• GRid and Biodiversity (GRAB)
• Grid ENabled Integrated Earth (GENIE) web link
• Grid for Ocean Diagnostics Interactive Visualisation and Analysis (GODIVA) web link
• NERC datagrid web link
• The National Institute for Envirionmental eScience (NIEeS) web link

The session will be chaired by Prof David Price (UCL), who is a member of the eminerals project.
