Big Data Analytics to Enable Integrated Research of Biodiversity and Climate Datasets in the Amazon Basin

With the mass adoption of data analysis in several scientific fields such as climatology, medicine, astronomy and astrophysics, the availability of an appropriate analytics infrastructure has become a necessity increasingly recognized by the scientific community. However, appropriate tools and applications are required to process the large volume of data collected and generated by researchers. One of the biggest challenges lies in the fact that these tools need to be gathered to be applied in specific domains. The area of bioclimatic data is a scientific field that still has much to improve in this matter. It is a field of study that lacks great efforts in the direction to provide methodologies and tools to facilitate the understanding of the complex phenomena involved in the influence that environmental variables have on biodiversity on the planet. Thus, the purpose of this work is to propose a big data analytics architecture that presents an ecosystem that systematizes and facilitates the task of the sc...
