AIMS Data Centre

AIMS is committed to providing a range of data products relevant to marine research.

Online data includes:

AIMS Data Catalogue
AIMS research data is described in detail in the AIMS Data Catalogue. The catalogue contains descriptions of data (often called metadata) which allows others, including, researchers to identify potential data of use to them. Data can then be downloaded (if available) or requested. Access to some data will be via legal data agreement.

Many of these data products are collaborative projects. The AIMS Data Centre carries out co-ordinated systems development, advancing scientific data standards in the marine community.

The Centre has developed custom software suited to marine data and included spatial and temporal visualisations in its novel approach to data delivery solutions.
