Progress Since GLEON 8 (cont.)

Information Technology

– DataTurbine being field tested– Antarctic Dry Valley Lakes data available via GLEON

web site– Lake Analyzer program used by Climate/lake mixing

group– Controlled Vocabulary finalized – Data Access policy in draft– Website overhaul– Independently developed iPhone app for Lake
