The IDEA Consortium is an open science initiative in systems ecology, conducting the basic scientific research needed to build use-oriented simulations (avatars) of entire social-ecological systems. Islands are the most scientifically tractable places for this, and we begin with one of the best known: Moorea, French Polynesia (Moorea IDEA).
The Moorea Avatar is a digital representation of the island today, while other versions — simulated in silico — draw on the best-available scientific knowledge to show what it looked like in the past and to predict how it might look in the future. Therefore, a key task is to develop the place-based data science infrastructure and associated computational platform needed to support scenario-based planning.
