Nanyang Technological University (NTU) is working with other international universities to build a global network of 'citizen scientists' on a free-to-access database for oceanographic data. While much attention is placed on mammals and fish in the sea, it is the tiny, marine microbes that supports the nutrient cycle and forms the foundation of the food web. To gain a better understanding of such marine life and its environment, NTU scientists at the Singapore Centre on Environmental Life Sciences Engineering (SCELSE) have embarked on a pilot project to crowd-source the collection of oceanographic data globally.
