INTRODUCTION TO EACH COMPONENT
Page introduction text Text: Here you will find a suite of openly available tools that are commonly used in ecosciences. Location: Under main page header
Interactive coding tools section text Change ‘command-line tools’ to ‘interactive coding tools’ Text: ecocloud gives you access to servers with either R or Python. These environments run in your browser and connect to virtual machines in the Nectar cloud. Simply choose your preferred language and we’ll do the rest. Read more about our servers here [link to article describing how servers work]. Location: under ‘Interactive coding tools’ heading.
Virtual desktop section text Text: A virtual desktop environment provides you with popular software applications such as QGIS, OpenRefine, Biodiverse and many more. Read more about the virtual desktop environments here [link to article describing how servers work]. Location: under ‘Virtual desktop’ heading.
Point-and-click tools section text Text: This is a catalogue of popular tools used in ecosciences. These are external tools to the ecocloud Platform and the links will take you to the respective websites for each tool. Think there’s a tool missing?

WITHIN TOOL DESCRIPTIONS
R (RStudio and Jupyter) Text: R is a popular software environment for statistical computing and graphics. This server will run through a JupyterLab interface, with the added ability to run an RStudio server.
Scientific Python (SciPy Jupyter) Text: SciPy is a Python-based ecosystem of open-source software for mathematics, science, and engineering. This server will run through a JupyterLab interface.
ALA Spatial Portal Text: The Spatial Portal is a rich research interface to exploring and investigating the data held in the Atlas of Living Australia.
BCCVL Text: The Biodiversity and Climate Change Virtual Laboratory (BCCVL) is a “one stop modelling shop” that simplifies the process of biodiversity-climate change modelling. It provides access to curated datasets, modelling workflows and support and training content.
MCAS-S Text: The Multi-Criteria Analysis Shell for Spatial Decision Support (MCAS-S) is a tool designed for decision-makers. It shows transparently how mapped information can be combined to meet an objective. MCAS-S allows stakeholders to see the effects that their decisions may have. Currently, MCAS-S is only available as a software download, however we’re working with the MCAS-S team to bring this into a cloud solution.
AURIN Text: AURIN provides urban and built environment researchers with access to diverse sources of data, data integration capabilities, and capability for interrogating those data to make informed decisions about urban environments based on realistic scenarios and evidence-based analysis.
