Reproducible research and public data-sharing in ecology: A Q+A with LAGOS creators
Research published today in GigaScience has taken hundreds of ecology datasets and created an open database, known as LAGOS (LAke multi-scaled GeOSpatial and temporal database), spanning a significant chunk of North America and tens of thousands of lakes. GigaScience has asked one of the creators, Pat Soranno, Professor at Michigan State University’s Department of Fisheries and Wildlife, and her team, more about this data resource.
