LOOKING

Project Description

Laboratory for Ocean Observatory Knowledge Integration Grid (LOOKING). Oceanographers and computer scientists will prototype communications and data-management infrastructure to link research institutions on land with several existing or planned ocean observatories off the west coasts of the United States, Canada and Mexico. Led by University of Washington oceanographer John Delaney, roughly half the $3.9 million in funding will go to UCSD, where research will be led by Scripps Institution of Oceanography deputy director John Orcutt, and co-PI Larry Smarr, director of the California Institute for Telecommunications and Information Technology [Calit²]. Together with other participating institutions, they will collaborate on experimental wireless, optical networks and grid technology required to use and automate undersea sensor networks-both delivery of data from sensors and the control of sensors and networks from land. The cyberinfrastructure will also serve as a prototype for future sensor networks for conducting research in other remote and hostile environments. "Software, hardware and network services developed as part of LOOKING will allow researchers, educators and students to access and analyze ocean and atmospheric data in real time," said Orcutt. "They will also be able to control and interact with ocean-based sensor arrays and robotic platforms from the relative comfort of their labs and classrooms."
