    Visualizing the Census of Marine Life
  • Log in

The Census of Marine Life was a global network of researchers in more than 80 nations engaged in a 10-year scientific initiative to assess and explain the diversity, distribution, and abundance of life in the oceans.  The world's first comprehensive census of the past, present, and future of life in the oceans was released in October 2010.

 

Remote Desktop Connection

The Mapping and Visualization team has Windows servers that can be remotely accessed by Census projects. This may be especially useful for projects that have a short term need to use the techniques and software described on this site,  or lack the time and expertise to set up a working environment.

For access, contact info@comlmaps.org.
