Helgoland is Germany’s only deep-sea island approximately 60 km off the German coast. This island is located in the middle of the German Bight (North Sea) and offers, in terms of its biodiversity, one of the richest habitats along the German coast. The Biological Institute on Helgoland, which undertook sampling on the summer solstice for the Ocean Sampling Day 2012 pilot was founded in 1892.

Smart phone application for Ocean Sampling Day - collaboration with Epicollect

Submitted by OceanSamplingDay on Mon, 2012-06-18 15:20
Micro B3 is working with the developers of the widely used EpiCollect software (www.epicollect.net). An OSD specific project has been built using the software. For the OSD 2012 pilot, we will trial this version to capture photos, GPS co-ordinates, date and time and a small amount of additional contextual information (part of the GSC's MixS standard). By the next sampling event we will employ features of a forthcoming new version of EpiCollect.
