This project focuses on developing a comprehensive data-analytic system for Baikal plankton research, utilizing GIS and bioinformatics technologies alongside mathematical methods. Since 1927, over 40,000 observation records have been collected, highlighting challenges in data access and processing. The mission is to create a conversion technology for data formats, develop user interfaces for data manipulation and statistical analysis, and establish a database of 350,000 records. The project employs Java, PostgreSQL, and various statistical methods, contributing to ecological and biological research at Irkutsk State University.
