The Hawai‘i Geospatial Data Repository (HGDR) allows access to scientific datasets for researchers and collaborators from around the state. The HGDR provides an integrative capability to collect, store and manage access to data in support of discovery, manipulation, and visualization. Geospatial information is being delivered through web mapping services and is used to build applications to visualize data from the research agenda. Disparate sensor and field datasets are managed and controlled by researchers who can upload, download, manage, query and perform QA/QC on their data. The Hawaii Geospatial Data Repository is working towards integrating a variety of formats and further developing custom portals for statewide datasets as well as facilitating connections to High Performance Computing for modeling, analysis and visualization.
