Project Details


Contributor: Nityam Madaan
Organization: IOOS
GSoC Page: https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/programs/2025/projects/ewtYg3ZW
Duration: 12 Weeks
Repository: https://github.com/DFO-NOAA-Pacific/surveyjoin-db
Background: The surveyjoin project by NOAA and DFO was a foundational effort to consolidate transboundary marine / trawl data from various surveys conducted across the Northeast Pacific Ocean. It successfully combined the data (provided via an R package) from the various sources into a single, large R data frame, providing a unified view limited to the top 55 species due to size constraints. This structure presented challenges in terms of scalability, performance, standardization, and accessibility.
