A GIS Internet portal for marine data in Norwegian waters.

The MAREANO project is a collaboration between:

• ​The Institute of Marine Research (IMR)
  
• ​The Geological Survey of Norway (NGU), and
• ​The Norwegian Mapping Authority (SK)

The MAREANO WEB Internet portal:

• Combines information about the project and the research data, a map viewer, and data from different research areas in the same portal.
  
• Gives efficient access to marine data for public management.
• Provides simple data presentation for the public.
• Includes data from many institutions in the same map viewer.
• Accesses data from distributed databases. The data owners maintain their own data.
• Offers the possibility to download data.

The user interface of the MAREANO map viewer contains two ways of accessing data: one for the GIS novice and one for the advanced GIS user.

I worked on this project 2005 - 2007.
