Integrating past, present, and projected future biological and environmental data to facilitate innovative global change biology research
Leveraging UC Berkeley’s exceptional resourcesBerkeley Natural History Museums• Insects (and their kin)
– 6.5 Million specimens (<2.5% digitized)
• Fossils– 6.5 Million specimens (<5% digitized)
• Vertebrates – 677,000 specimens (100% digitized)
• Plants– 2.2 Million specimens (16% digitized)
Time scale
1800s present
Leveraging UC Berkeley’s exceptional resourcesBerkeley Field Stations• Biological observations
– Species checklists– Field notes– Photographs
• Microclimate sensor arrays– Over 4 million measurements– 48 variables

Pulling data from external sourcesFreely-available baselayers
• Climate
• Land cover
• Topography
• Geology
• Soils
• Fire frequency
• Nature reserves
More biological observations• Biocollections from
around the State
• Photographs and additional observations collected by various users
• Users can access data and its metadata via our Online Portal, Holos. Holos comes with built-in searching, charting, visualization and analysis tools
• The Data API’s open framework allows third-party developers to write their own tools.
