  • CRC1211 - Earth – Evolution at the dry limit

Project Z2

Project

Data management and spatial data analysis

Research areas: Remote Sensing, GIS, Research Data Management

Principal investigators: Prof. Dr. Georg Bareth, Prof. Dr. Olaf Bubenzer

 

Project Info: Phase 3

In the 3rd phase, the focus of Z02 research and service activities will be on

  1. the maintenance and further development of the CRC1211-Database (CRC1211DB)
  2. the acquisition and analyses of remote sensing data, and on (iii) the development and implementation of a static version of the CRC1211DB, the ‘CRC1211DB-Box’, for post-funding accessibility.

In ongoing cooperation with the Regional Computing Centre Cologne (RRZK), the CRC1211-Database (CRC1211DB; www.crc1211db.uni-koeln.de) will be further developed considering the specific demands of the last funding phase.

The research data management (RDM) system was adapted from the implemented CRC-TR32DB (Curdt et al. 2019) and successfully implemented in the 1st funding phase of the CRC1211. The CRC1211DB has been developed to manage the interdisciplinary research data within the CRC1211.

In the 2nd phase, the focus was on updating, re-rogramming, and improving the CRC1211DB. Continuous data management activities will comprise CRC1211DB maintenance, interface development for data upload, export, and import. Geolocation of uploaded data have been implemented in the 2nd phase and the provision of CRC1211DB-DOIs is possible since the 1st phase. Finally, the CRC members have been received training and support for the use of the RDM system, also in combination with the IRTG (Z06).

The established weather station network has been maintained and was expanded in cooperation with Z03 in numerous field campaigns since 2021. For more improved visualization and weather data access, database functionalities are in development. One major activity was the development and ongoing implementation of the TephAta Database in close cooperation with D06. Additionally, data acquisition, analysis, and license administration for remote sensing data are ongoing. In this context, a successful remote sensing field campaign was carried out after closure of Corona traveling restriction in March 2023. In this campaign, field spectroradiometer measurements, multispectral UAV-borne image acquisitions (VIS/NIR/SWIR), UAV-LiDAR point cloud acquisition, and hyper- and multispectral satellite data purchase was successful.

The continuing remote sensing data acquisition of Z02 will provide the CRC1211 projects with spatial data. In cooperation with L01, the proximal and remote sensing research focus lies on lithology and the detection and monitoring of lichen-dominated biological soil surface crusts, tillandsia, and surface moisture content.
