Berkeley-GIF-MVZ partership wins Keck funding
The Berkeley Initiative in Global Change Biology (BiGCB) has been awarded $1.5 million by the W.M. Keck Foundation to develop a Predictive Biosystems Informatics Engine (PBIE), the informatics infrastructure needed to access, visualize, and analyze rich data, and provide the foundation for building the next generation of models of the biotic response to global change. The GIF is involved in the web visualization portion of this exciting project.
The PBIE will innovate with cutting-edge technologies, and once operational, will enable cross-disciplinary exploration of the vast and disparate data sources required to understand biotic response to global change. More information on the project can be found here.
