Marine Geospatial Ecology Tools: access and manipulate marine ecological and oceanographic data
MGET, also known as the GeoEco Python library, helps researchers access, manipulate, and analyze ecological and oceanographic data. MGET can be accessed through the GeoEco Python API or an associated ArcGIS geoprocessing toolbox.
MGET was developed by the Duke University Marine Geospatial Ecology Lab.
MGET requires 64-bit Python 3.9–3.12 running on Windows or Linux. For full
functionality, ArcGIS Pro 3.2.2 or later or ArcGIS Server 11.2 or later is
also required, along with some freely-available software. MGET can be
installed with pip install mget3, but please see the platform-specific
instructions below to ensure all prerequisites are met.
Ⓘ Note
We are still in the process of porting MGET for Python 2.7 and ArcGIS Desktop to work with Python 3.x and ArcGIS Pro and Server. Not everything has been ported yet. If you have questions about something that is missing, please post a question to the discussion forum.
MGET was originally documented by the following paper. Although much of the underlying software architecture has changed since 2010, the overall concept remains, of using Python to integrate useful code implemented in several languages and to expose it as an ArcGIS geoprocessing toolbox. If you find MGET is useful in your work, please cite this paper in your publication. If you are unable to access the paper, please email jason.roberts@duke.edu for a copy.
