    “Finding Nemo” – Assessment and Visualisation of Biodiversity Data in a Web-based Atlas
    (EnviroInfo Dessau 2012, Part 1: Core Application Areas, 2012) Steinhausen, Konstanze; Winkler, Martin; Genzel, Carl-Heinz; Vatterrott, Heide-Rose; Brunken, Heiko
    What is the current distribution of the salmon? Has the population of the European otter declined? Which alien species have most recently been discovered in Germany? The Biodiversity Atlas gives the answers. Since 2006, the Project Group AG Biodiversity has been developing the Atlas at the Bremen University of Applied Sciences in cooperation between the Fish Ecology Lab and the Institute of Informatics and Automation (IIA). What started as a rudimentary cartography service for fishes of Germany and Austria has evolved to a comprehensive web-based tool for assessing and communicating biodiversity data. Today it is used in several projects to map species distribution and to depict specific biological information, e. g. about amphibians in Pernambuco (Brazil) or mammals in the city of Bremen (Germany). The information is gathered through expert networks, literature or public authorities. The aim is to offer a scientifically sophisticated instrument to display highly topical data to the interested public in an aggregated and easily understandable manner. By this means the Biodiversity Atlas provides a solution for the sustainable protection of species and habitats.

    Der Solarservice Bremen – ein Web-GIS-basierter Informationsservice für Solarenergie in der Stadt Bremen
    (Informationsgewinnung und Datenaufbereitung für maritime Informationssysteme, 2011) Steinhausen, Konstanze
    Germany uses the biggest share of solar energy worldwide and could record the strongest increase in photovoltaic plants in the last few years [EPIA, 2010]. But the benefits, that are possible to gain with solar energy in this country, are still not reached by far yet. Over the half of the power requirement of the Federal Republic could be gained on the basis of a consistent use of existing roof areas [BSW, 2011]. Although on average there is less intensity of solar radiation in the north than in southern regions, the annual incident solar radiation in Bremen can go up to 950 kWh/m2. This increases the importance to use solar energy even in private households. A GIS-based information service for solar power for the city of Bremen is therefore developed by the University of Applied Sciences Bremen in cooperation with the BUND LV Bremen and the GeoInformation Bremen. The Solarservice Bremen is planned in addition to a number of information services of Bremen, which inform about solar energy, and shall increase or at least arouse the interest in solar energy for the promotion of the use of renewable energies.
