GEOS-Chem simulations provide daily PM2.5 and O3 concentrations alongside MERRA-2 meteorological features for the United States (2011-2017) and China (2013-2017). The data, created by Minghao Qiu at MIT, supports replication of a 2022 study on evaluating air quality trends under changing meteorological conditions. It includes observational, counterfactual, and constant-emission scenarios to isolate the effects of meteorology and emissions.
Detroit's green infrastructure is monitored by a network of 14 rain gardens and 16 pressure transducers. The dataset includes design features, field logs, water well data, GIS layers, and code for analyzing stormwater decay constants. Brooke E. Mason from the University of Michigan compiled this resource for urban hydrology research.
An ex-post evaluation of a 2007-08 water quality pilot tender in the Lower Burdekin River area. The project reviews the trial's design, operation, and administration to assess its effectiveness for long-term change and inform economic theory. The dataset is associated with the Australian Ocean Data Network and was last updated in July 2026.
Australia's Wet Tropics bioregion is the focus of this project investigating the exposure and sensitivity of animals to extreme climate events like heat waves and cyclones. The project, now complete, produced maps of thermal hotspots and refugia and a list of at-risk biodiversity values. This information aims to predict and mitigate the impacts of extreme climatic events on biodiversity in Australia and potentially other regions.
April 2015 data from a 2-D seismic survey in the Gippsland Basin, Bass Strait, Australia, used to quantify fish behavior and commercial catch rates. The dataset, published in Marine Environmental Research in 2018, includes acoustic tagging data for three shark species and logbook catch data for 15 species from January 2012 to October 2015. It was aggregated by the Australian Ocean Data Network.
Multiple files contain Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS) seismic data and icequake event catalogs from the Rutford Ice Stream in Antarctica. The dataset includes DAS data from both buried and unburied fiber optic cables, alongside geophone network coordinates and event catalogs for line and triangle deployment geometries. Data was collected by Thomas Hudson at the University of Oxford and is associated with a published scientific study.
Four simulation runs compare the performance and accuracy of different numerical precision formats for fluid dynamics. The dataset contains netCDF files presenting velocities, sea surface height, and sea surface temperature from the ShallowWaters.jl model. It was created by researchers from the University of Oxford using the Isambard UK National Tier-2 HPC Service in 2021.
An Agent-Based Model (ABM) assesses surface water flood risk and management strategies under future climate change. The model, authored by Katie Jenkins of the University of Oxford, explores the interplay between adaptation options, homeowner and government actions, and flood insurance. It is applied to a London case study to evaluate risk reduction and the role of the Flood Re insurance pool.
Atmospheric measurements of methane (CH4) and its carbon-13 isotopic tracer (d13CH4), along with wind data, collected from Imperial College London between March 2018 and October 2020. The dataset also includes atmospheric simulations combining global and UK emissions with back-trajectories. This data was used in a 2022 study by Saboya et al. published in Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics.
Four field sites near Abisko, Sweden and Petsikko/Kevo, Finland provide data on the Arctic terrestrial biosphere's response to climate change. Observations include plant root measurements, soil CH4 emissions, and carbon/water exchanges at fine (~1m) and landscape (~100m) scales, collected between 2007 and 2009. The project integrates plant and soil studies with atmospheric measurements, aircraft observations, and modeling.
Radial velocity measurements from insects, detected by Doppler radar, were converted into vertical wind profiles across England and Wales. This NERC-funded project from 2007-2010 produced ensemble weather forecasts and model outputs assimilating these novel insect-derived wind observations. The data aims to improve high-resolution storm prediction and probabilistic flood forecasting by capturing atmospheric motions before precipitation develops.
Rainfall depth maxima data and maps for extreme events across the UK, digitized from the paper British Rainfall publication. The collection provides a long-term record dating back to at least 1860, intended for improving flood risk models and predictions. This dataset was created as part of a NERC-funded research project led by the University of Oxford.
20 research flights collected ground-based and airborne in-situ aerosol measurements for the APPRAISE-CLOUDS project. The data were gathered from the Chilbolton Atmospheric Observatory in Hampshire and using the FAAM BAE-146 aircraft operating from Cranfield, Exeter, and Oberpffafenhofen, Germany. The Centre for Environmental Data Analysis provides this dataset under the OGL-UK-3.0 license.
Australian research evaluates past riparian remediation investments to improve water quality for the Great Barrier Reef. The study, conducted by CSIRO under the NESP TWQ program, revisits erosion-control works to identify factors for functional riparian zones. It covers conditions like rainfall zones, soil types, and revegetation characteristics from 2017 to 2018.
High-resolution ocean simulations with detailed paleobathymetry demonstrate the role of tectonic gateway opening in Southern Ocean climate change around 34 million years ago. The dataset, hosted by the Australian Ocean Data Network, shows that gateway subsidence below 300 meters can cause Antarctic surface water cooling of 2–4°C on average, up to 5°C. These results are consistent with available proxy data and suggest tectonic changes are crucial for constraining long-term climate sensitivity to CO2.
Processed Underway (UWY) data from Marine National Facility voyages provides continuous, quality-controlled measurements from research vessels. The dataset includes navigation, thermosalinograph, and atmospheric data recorded at 5-second intervals. These data are supplied to the Australian Ocean Data Network and used for satellite sea surface temperature validation.
Phytoplankton, water quality, and environmental monitoring data collected under the Integrated Monitoring of Environmental Flows (IMEF) program in the Namoi River system between November 1998 and September 1999. This dataset forms the primary empirical basis for Hohnberg (2000) and contains raw observations of algal abundance, water quality parameters, and site-based records from riverine and weir pool environments. It is published by the NSW Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water.
Geoscience Australia's Onshore Seismic Data Collection preserves raw and processed seismic data from regional crustal scale surveys across the Australian continent. The collection includes a GIS dataset updated in May 2019, showing seismic recording station locations from 1976 onward. Data was collected by Geoscience Australia and its predecessors in collaboration with state surveys, universities, and industry partners.
Christmas Island lies on oceanic crust moving north at 7cm/year and rises 360 m above sea level. The dataset likely contains results from a 28-day 1992 geoscience cruise that acquired about 2500 km of high-resolution reflection seismic and bathymetric data to assess seabed morphology, sediment thickness, and offshore mineral resources. This information was intended to support Australia's negotiations for a seabed boundary with Indonesia.
A geological case study assesses the CO2 storage potential of the Early Cretaceous Gage Sandstone in the offshore Vlaming Sub-basin, Western Australia. The analysis integrates 2D seismic interpretation, well log data from 8 wells, and biostratigraphic review to characterize the reservoir. It was published by the Australian Ocean Data Network as part of a National Carbon Infrastructure Plan study.
