National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) data on microbial communities collected from the International Space Station (ISS) and Jet Propulsion Laboratory cleanrooms. The dataset was generated using 16S rRNA gene and ITS sequencing on the 454 platform to compare microbiomes under spaceflight and terrestrial conditions. The primary rationale is crew safety and hardware maintenance for the ISS.
79.8 MB of audio data contains an interview with Haji Abdullah Hasan discussing timber species used in ship hull construction. The recording, uploaded by Horst Liebner, focuses on the ecology of timber and the sustainability of the present industry. The dataset is licensed under CC-BY-NC-SA-4.0 and was last updated on figshare in May 2026.
Geoscience Australia produced this map for the Australian Fisheries Management Authority to assist in enforcing maritime boundaries. The map includes an explanation of boundaries and coordinates for the Arafura Sea and Torres Strait, updated in 2019 to reflect the 2018 Australia/Timor-Leste treaty. Public release is handled by DEH and AFMA.
2026 data from the Department of Water and Environmental Regulation details proposals for native vegetation clearing under the Environmental Protection Act 1986. The dataset captures land clearing requests submitted by applicants, using freeform shapes or imported shapefiles for complex cases. Data accuracy is tied to the requirements of each individual request.
A meta-analysis of 13 studies published through November 2025 compares cardiac changes in adult end-stage kidney disease patients before and after kidney transplantation. The dataset contains standardized mean difference results for myocardial strain and left ventricular volumetric parameters, measured by echocardiography and cardiac magnetic resonance. Findings indicate reversal of uraemic cardiomyopathy but do not confirm strain as a more sensitive marker than volumetry.
Thousands of high-resolution still images from the Eastern and Western margins of Australia document biological features on the deep seafloor. The Australian Ocean Data Network compiled these images into a Lebensspuren Directory to correlate features with abiotic factors and assess the technique's utility. The dataset record was last updated in April 2026.
Clearing Instruments Activities data details land areas approved for native vegetation clearing under permits in Western Australia. The dataset is derived from authorisations under the Environmental Protection Act 1986 and captured by the Department of Water and Environmental Regulation. Spatial data accuracy varies based on the complexity of the permit request.
The Comparative Geomorphology of Estuaries Project from the Coastal CRC aimed to improve understanding of Australia's near-pristine estuaries. A major output was geomorphic habitat mapping for a representative selection of these estuaries. The dataset is hosted by the Australian Ocean Data Network and was last updated in May 2026.
MAPS, a tri-layered net system, enabled the first deliberate concurrent sampling of seafloor (benthic) and near-seafloor water column (planktobenthic) organisms. The Australian Ocean Data Network published this methodological and biological data, with a record last updated in April 2026. It includes counts of species like mysids and infauna, with analysis showing correlations between planktobenthic and benthic species numbers across taxonomic groups.
Fossilized pollen and spores from the Late Triassic Norian age were collected in the Prince Charles Mountains of East Antarctica. The assemblage includes specific taxa like Enzonalasporites vigens and Ovalipollis ovalis, linking it to the Tethyan Onslow Microflora. This record was published by the Australian Ocean Data Network and updated in April 2026.
Western Australia data contains areas where conditions apply under native vegetation clearing permits. The Department of Water and Environmental Regulation captures this data from authorizations under the Environmental Protection Act 1986. Data accuracy and capture method vary based on the complexity of the permit request.
Canadian boreal forest data from the BOREAS project includes site characteristics, soil profiles, woody debris, and overstory and understory vegetation measurements. The dataset consists of three published reports from the Canadian Forest Service, covering approximately 100 sites across Southern, Northern, and Transect study areas. Data collection was led by the BOREAS Terrestrial Ecology-13 team.
Approximately 1,600 tree leaves selected from a collection of over 10,000 damaged leaves gathered in Colchester, Vermont, USA during Lymantria dispar outbreak years 2021 and 2022. The leaves were photographed by the University of Vermont Plant Machine Design Group and include samples of second-generation regrowth and computationally remediated leaves. A full dataset release is planned in conjunction with forthcoming publications and art exhibitions.
Data files supporting the study 'Insect handling by bats' are available, including a README, .csv files, and an .Rmd file. The dataset was authored by Brooke Quinn and is hosted on Harvard Dataverse. It was last updated on 2026-06-20.
July 1994 and 1996 field data details plant species composition within measurement collars in the Northern Study Area (NSA) fen. The BOREAS TGB-03 team collected this information to explain differences in measured Net Ecosystem Exchange (NEE) among plant communities. This dataset supports the Boreal Ecosystem-Atmosphere Study's investigation of trace gas fluxes.
Fisheries plans, reports and research documents published by the Yukon Department of Environment. The collection includes HTML and PDF files and is licensed under OGL-CA-2.0. The dataset was last updated on April 17, 2026.
A thesis available online via DOI 10.7939/R3DJ58N76. It is hosted by the Government of Yukon on the open_canada platform and was last updated in April 2026. The work likely contains evidence for Late Cretaceous eastward subduction of oceanic crust underneath North America.
GeoTiff raster data from the MERIS satellite measures the coefficient of light attenuation for photosynthetically active radiation in the Greater North Sea and Celtic Seas. Monthly and annual averages from 2005 to 2009 are provided at a 250-meter cell resolution. Values are dimensionless, ranging from 0 (clear water) to 1 (very turbid), indicating light penetration levels.
A dataset supporting research on the origin and transport of bacterial hopanoids. It was authored by Brittany Belin and last updated on May 12, 2026. The dataset is available under a CC-BY-4.0 license and consists of 157.6 KB of data across multiple file formats.
Joint Nature Conservation Committee data records the 10km grid squares for terrestrial habitats reported under the EU Habitats Directive. The information was used to create distribution shapefiles for the 3rd UK Habitats Directive Report submitted to the European Commission in 2013. The spreadsheet includes a row for each habitat and 10km square combination, with sources listed for all data points.
