Friday Harbor Laboratory, San Juan Island, WA

Working with a 30 year sub-tidal ecology data-set. The data was mined, validated, and reformatted to be input into a relational database. A user interface was created for use by researchers and students. The goal is to programmatically collect all the data and store it in one data file for later use. The data was housed in many small data files in several.
