Marine Geospatial Ecology Tools Announcements

 

 

MGET 0.6 is released

 

This release includes:

 

·         ArcGIS 9.3 compatibility.

·         Eric Treml's coral larvae dispersal simulator. See the end of this presentation for an overview.

·         Tools for downloading sea surface height, geostrophic currents, significant wave height, and sea surface winds data from Aviso over the OPeNDAP protocol.

·         A tool for predicting Bayesian probability maps from generalized additive models.

·         Various bug fixes and enhancements. See the Change List for details.

 

Download this release from the MGET home page.

 

 

MGET Demonstration Webinar: 15-Oct-2008, 2-3 pm EDT

 

In this webinar, I will demonstrate how to use MGET to predict species habitat or occurrence by fitting a multivariate statistical model to presence/absence observations using oceanographic predictor variables. Please see the forwarded message below for sign-up instructions.

Join us for a Webinar on October 15

 

 

 

Marine Geospatial Ecology Tools (MGET), also known as the GeoEco Python package, is an open source geoprocessing toolbox designed for coastal and marine researchers and GIS analysts who work with spatially-explicit ecological and oceanographic data in scientific or management workflows. MGET includes over 150 tools useful for a variety of tasks, such as converting oceanographic data to ArcGIS formats, identifying oceanographic features (e.g. SST fronts), fitting and evaluating statistical models such as GAMs and GLMs by automatically interfacing ArcGIS with the R statistics program, analyzing coral reef connectivity by simulating larval dispersal, and building grids that summarize fishing effort, CPUE and other statistics. MGET may be accessed from ArcGIS as a toolbox in the ArcToolbox window and from programming languages as a set of Python modules and COM Automation components. This demonstration will illustrate a few of the most popular tools in the MGET package by building and evaluating a presence/absence habitat model. Learn more about MGET at http://code.env.duke.edu/projects/mget.
