Node scope
Marine data and digital environments for the European Digital Twin Ocean
The Node connects multidisciplinary marine data with collaborative research environments, cloud computing, storage, analytical methods and FAIR research products.
Originating from the Blue-Cloud initiative, it supports the construction, execution and sharing of ocean-science workflows across climate, biodiversity, ecosystem monitoring, coastal dynamics, fisheries, marine restoration, physical and biogeochemical oceanography, and offshore renewable energy.
Users can discover datasets and services, work in Virtual Research Environments and Virtual Labs, run notebooks and analytical methods, manage shared files, publish research products and collaborate across organisations.
Node capabilities
From discovery to reproducible analysis
Collaborate
Work in community-oriented VREs with shared workspaces, communication and controlled membership.
Compute
Use JupyterLab, RStudio, Galaxy and the Collaborative Computing Platform on managed backends.
Integrate
Combine observations, models and data from European Blue Data Infrastructures.
Publish
Create documented, citable and reusable data products with provenance and persistent records.
Reuse
Adapt transparent workflows and services for new scientific questions and Digital Twin Ocean uses.
CNR – Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche
CNR coordinates the Node and operates its D4Science-based digital infrastructure with European marine-data, research-infrastructure and technology partners.
Public information, federated access
Public pages and catalogues are available anonymously. Interactive resources use EOSC-compliant federated authentication; each resource below states whether access is open, moderated or restricted.
Research resources
Open environments for marine research
Every entry provides its purpose and User Access Policy. The D4Science Access and Acceptable Use Policy applies to all D4Science-hosted environments; datasets and software may carry additional conditions shown in their records.
Carbon–Plankton Dynamics
Open EOSC AAIModel and explore nutrient, plankton, organic-matter and carbon dynamics, supporting investigation of biological carbon sequestration and marine ecosystem responses.
Coastal Currents from Observations
Open EOSC AAIIntegrate HF-radar, drifter and satellite-altimetry observations to produce improved coastal surface-current maps and support transport or pollution studies.
EOSC Node EU DTO Lab
Open EOSC AAIA general-purpose one-stop shop where researchers can discover and execute Node methods, use shared files, run notebooks or R analyses, and assemble workflows.
Ecosystem Workbench
Open EOSC AAIHarmonise and analyse ecosystem-level Essential Ocean Variables and related observations to build quality-controlled, reusable marine ecosystem products.

Physics Workbench
Open EOSC AAIIntegrate, harmonise, quality-control and deduplicate in-situ temperature and salinity data for EOV products, reanalysis and data-driven applications.
Consortium and synergy environments
Specialised collaboration spaces
These environments are connected to the Node but may apply project- or community-specific membership rules. Their access model is stated before users follow the access link.
EOSC-Marine Project VLab
RestrictedA collaborative environment for EOSC-Marine consortium members to share project documents and materials, communicate and coordinate project activities.
Ecological Restoration Lab
Open EOSC AAISupport marine-restoration planning, implementation and monitoring with guided protocol tools, spatial prioritisation, image analysis and regional digital-twin demonstrators.
MARINERG-i
ModeratedSupport the development of an integrated European research infrastructure for offshore renewable-energy testing, shared knowledge, data-management procedures and community collaboration.
Access-status legend
Public Available anonymously, although contribution functions may require authentication. Open EOSC AAI Any EOSC user may authenticate and join. Moderated An EOSC user submits a request reviewed by a VRE manager. Restricted Access is limited to an identified project or community.
Node access and policies
Clear conditions before access
The public landing page, resource descriptions and catalogues can be consulted without login. Authentication is required only when a user enters a protected environment or invokes a protected service.
EOSC AAI access
Select Sign in with EOSC AAI, choose the academic or EOSC-compatible identity offered by the D4Science login service, authenticate with the identity provider, and return to the requested Node resource.
Open the EOSC-compliant loginAcceptable Use Policy
The policy covers authentication, VRE roles, open, moderated and private access models, permitted use, security, quotas, APIs and enforcement across D4Science-hosted Node resources.
Read the Access and Acceptable Use PolicyUser Access Policy
Each resource card above states its access model. Authentication does not override membership rules: moderated access requires approval and restricted environments remain limited to authorised communities.
