How is it helping our research process?
Year 1
The Project kicked off at the start of 2021 and is projected to end at the end of 2025. At one year in all the major sentinel gardens have been planted with more being established in other parts of Asia. The data management platform has been actively used to capture, store and share data. Although the project is still in its infancy we have already been able to monitor and track potential threats through the live data feed and statistical analysis.
Live data feed
Through the live feed of data that we receive on the Device magic platform we are able to monitor when, where, how and by whom data is collected. We can manage data collection by sending collection reminders when necessary.
Threat detection
By leveraging the skills available in the Forest Entomology Lab we are able to accurately identify recorded insects and make this ability available to all our collaborators. Further through statistical analysis, anomaly and outlier detection we are able to priorities the most important cases and investigate further on potential threats before they mature into real threats.
