10:40 - Trident Scientific Flow Workbench
This is a project of the University of Washington and the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute.
They are setting the world’s first plate-scale undersea observatory. They will observe the two tectonic plates that touch along the Pacific coast. To do so, the labs placed several sensors undersea and Microsoft helps to automate the data processing pipelines to support, for example, real time visualizations.

10:41 - Berkeley Water Center
Microsoft Research collaborates with the Berkeley Water Center project to understand the regional hydrology by enabling rapid scientific data browsing for availability and applicability. The impact of the project is the maintenance of the Environmental Data Server, www.fluxdata.org that serves 921 site years of carbon-climate field data from over 160 field teams. Multiple projects are now leveraging same SQL Server database enabling 100 universities to collaborate on hydrology (CUAHSI consortium).
10:19 – CoSearch
Co-Search allows several people to collaborate on… web searches, using computers and cellphones. link: CoSearch paper (pdf)
