Better science in less time: how open data science tools can help us understand the ocean

Summary:

"Now more than ever, science demands collaboration, communication and the ability to reproduce experiments and data. While this reproducibility isn't easy, environmental scientists hope it can help create greater understanding of their findings in studies of natural, economic and social sciences.

These ideas are currently being tested in the Ocean Health Index project. The Ocean Health Index (OHI) is a scientific framework that quantifies and illustrates benefits the ocean holds for humans, and helps inform sustainable ocean management using the best available information. Every year since 2012, scientists have repeated Ocean Health Index methods to track change in global ocean health. Using the OHI framework, they lead annual global assessments of 220 coastal nations and territories."
