Open-sourcing the ivory tower, or how to remove barriers between scientific modelling and communities through open-source software
Matthew Wilson, Maria Cecilia Vega Corredor
Open-source software was used to develop water flow and tracing models of Te Awarua o Porirua (Porirua Harbour), Aotearoa-New Zealand. To facilitate model outputs’ interpretation by the local community, an opensource dashboard was developed together with 3D visualisations of the data. All developed products remained with the community.
