Microsoft Research’s Project Trident: A Scientific Workflow Workbench is helping scientists to manage data-intensive projects such as the Ocean Observatories Initiative, which is creating cabled observatories off the U.S. coast.

Astronomers at Johns Hopkins University are using Project Trident to support the Panoramic Survey Telescope and Rapid Response System (Pan-STARRS) project, which helps detect objects in the solar system that might pose a threat to Earth. The Pan-STARRS project uses an array of very powerful digital cameras to observe the entire night sky several times each month. Each of the cameras captures 1.4 gigapixels — 200 times the resolution of a 7-megapixel consumer camera.
