Umbrella
Umbrella SciSearch is a search engine for location-based environmental data. Search for a location in Queensland, and SciSearch will return an aggregation of multiple types of data taken from that location.
By building this search engine, we wanted to give people a fuller picture of what the environment looks like in various parts of Queensland. It's easy for researchers to focus on the type of data they specialise in above all else - but it may be useful for them to see how other data fits together as well.
Description of Use This data provides locational information - boundaries of suburbs, towns, etc. This was used for our maps, and should make it easy to extend to all Australia in future.
Description of Use This data feed provides live information about the air quality in specific locations. We chose this because air quality affects everything - wildlife, plants, and people alike.
Description of Use This provides a lot of information about wildlife, sortable by locations. This was the first API we decided to use, mainly because it is so comprehensive.
