Using science to open way to 'blue economy' Posted: 18 Nov 2014 09:54 AM PST New science and software make Belize coastal zone management plan better for people and the environment. With historic expansion of coastal and ocean development, ecosystems like coral reefs and mangrove forests are put at unprecedented risk. Yet, planners often lack good information about how human activities will impact shoreline and ocean habitats now and in the future. This study developed the information the Belizean government sought to make informed management decisions.

New image for 'big data' tools Posted: 14 Nov 2014 09:45 AM PST Big data represents both an opportunity and a challenge for scientists. The huge amount of data that can be generated by the latest scientific instruments could lead to important scientific discoveries, but only if scientists can efficiently process that data. This is especially true for analytical scientists studying biological materials using a fairly new technique known as mass spectrometry imaging (MSI). Help is now at hand, however, from a recent project which has come up with a range of new tools for efficiently processing MSI data.
