A 2019 study measured beryllium isotopes in sediments from Prydz Bay, Antarctica. The data includes measurements from open marine, sub-ice shelf, and subglacial depositional environments. It was published in Earth and Planetary Science Letters by researchers including Duanne A. White and David Fink.
Kelly Kochanski from the University of Colorado Boulder created a collection of time-lapse videos showing snow surface evolution on Niwot Ridge between March 2016 and April 2017. The videos capture the formation and movement of snow dunes, ripples, and sastrugi. This data was supported by fellowships from the Department of Energy and University of Colorado, and by the National Science Foundation.
The southern Lord Howe Rise and West Norfolk Ridge region is the focus of this marine geophysical dataset. It contains approximately 3,191 km of multichannel seismic data acquired during a 1992 survey to investigate the region's geological framework and continental shelf boundaries. The data was collected by the Australian Ocean Data Network to support resource assessment and legal seabed definition.
Stream water quality data from a sampling program for the southern Cayuga Lake basin in Tompkins County, New York, conducted from 1987 to 1989. The dataset, authored by David R. Bouldin of Cornell University, includes analyses for suspended solids, nitrate-nitrogen (NO3-N), and total dissolved phosphorus across four streams: Fall Creek, Six Mile Creek, Cascadilla Creek, and Inlet. Samples were collected across all seasons and flow regimes, with specific concentration averages provided, such as 1.26 ppm NO3-N in Fall Creek.
Supplementary material for the paper 'Exploring H2O Prominence in Reflection Spectra of Cool Giant Planets' published in ApJ 858, 69 (2018). Ryan J. MacDonald from Cornell University created this repository containing 65,520 model reflection spectra. The grid explores the influence of metallicity, gravity, effective temperature, and sedimentation efficiency on H2O absorption signatures in giant planet atmospheres.
Simulation output data from experiments investigating the impact of surface properties on the energy balance of the Lirung debris-covered glacier. The data was used for a study submitted to The Cryosphere by researchers from Utrecht University. It includes variables such as wind vectors, specific humidity, and temperature fluxes across different experimental configurations.
Yearly data from 1979-2021 and projections from 1950-2100, generated by the regional atmospheric climate model RACMO2.3p2 over Antarctica at 27 km resolution. The dataset, created by JM Van Wessem of Utrecht University, includes yearly averages of precipitation, snowfall, snowmelt, sublimation, and 2m temperature, forced by ERA5 and CESM2 data, and is used to calculate melt-over-accumulation sensitivity and compare with Sentinel-2 melt pond observations.
JM Van Wessem from Utrecht University provides a data set of yearly regional atmospheric climate model (RACMO2.3p2) data over Antarctica. It includes historical data from 1950-2014 and future projections under three SSP scenarios from 2015-2100, as well as a reanalysis-forced product from 1979-2021. The data contains yearly averages for precipitation, snowfall, snowmelt, sublimation, and 2-meter temperature.
A database created by an extensive Monte Carlo analysis provides evidence for relations between geometry, material characteristics, hydrology and stability for three different failure processes. The database contains the parameter combinations that resulted in a stability factor (F) closest to the critical condition. It was created by Teun van Woerkom of Utrecht University using a coupled hydro-stability model.
Simulation outputs from the IMAU-ICE ice sheet model investigating Antarctic ice sheet variability during the Miocene epoch. The dataset includes equilibrium experiments at various CO2 levels and sensitivity experiments with a fixed 25% precipitation increase and extreme sub-shelf melt rates of 400 m/yr. The work was conducted by Lennert B. Stap of Utrecht University.
A compilation of seafloor spreading magnetic data for the entire southern margin of Australia confirms the pattern of slow spreading following continental separation from Antarctica. The dataset, hosted by the Australian Ocean Data Network, includes critical data collected during the 1986 R/V Rig Seismic cruise and was last updated in 2026. It details a phase of slow spreading characterized by ridge jumps and variable spreading azimuths, interpreted as a response to confinement between oblique continental margins.
Global monthly atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration distributions reconstructed at 1º resolution from 1850 to 2013. Future spatial distributions under Shared Socio-economic Pathways and Representative Concentration Pathways scenarios are projected from 2015 to 2150. The dataset was created by Wei Cheng of the Chinese Academy of Sciences to enhance the realism of climate modeling.
The Qinghai–Tibet Plateau permafrost region contains an inventory of retrogressive thaw slumps (RTSs) based on field investigations and manual interpretation of Gaofen-1 and Gaofen-2 satellite imagery. RTSs were visually detected based on criteria like recently exposed sediments and distinct headwalls, then assigned unique numbers and classified by initiation type. The dataset was created by authors from the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
Henri Riihimäki from the University of Helsinki provides data from a study evaluating the Topographic Wetness Index (TWI) as a proxy for soil moisture. The dataset includes over 46,000 soil moisture measurements from 5,200 study plots, used to test TWI predictions derived from 11 flow-routing algorithms at Digital Elevation Model resolutions from 1 to 30 meters. The results indicate the predictive capability of TWI is modest, with the best performance reaching an R² of 23.7%.
Christmas Island, an Australian territory in the Indian Ocean, is the focus of a marine geoscience survey. The project involved a 28-day research cruise in January-February 1992, collecting about 2500 km of high-resolution seismic and bathymetric data. The data was gathered by the Bureau of Mineral Resources to assess seabed morphology, sediment thickness, and offshore mineral resources like manganese nodules and crusts.
A synthesis of global mean sea level and its components, assessed by an international consortium of scientists. The data includes an altimetry-based average rate of 3.1 +/- 0.3 mm/yr and acceleration of 0.1 mm/yr² from 1993 onward, with contributions quantified from ocean thermal expansion, glaciers, and ice sheets. This assessment was performed in 2017-2018 under the World Climate Research Programme.
NASA's MOD13C2 Version 6 product provides monthly global vegetation indices from the Terra satellite. The dataset contains two primary layers, the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) and the Enhanced Vegetation Index (EVI), projected on a 0.05-degree Climate Modeling Grid with 3,600 rows and 7,200 columns. This version was decommissioned in July 2023, with users directed to the updated Version 6.1.
ACCESS1-0 model output prepared for the CMIP5 abrupt4xCO2 experiment. The experiment imposes an instantaneous quadrupling of atmospheric CO2 concentration and holds it fixed. Output consists of time series per variable in netCDF format at the model's grid spatial resolution, as coordinated by the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 5.
CHESS-met provides a 1-kilometer resolution gridded dataset of seven daily meteorological variables essential for running the JULES land surface model. Its 55-year time series from 1961 to 2015 is derived from high-quality sources like CEH-GEAR rainfall estimates and interpolated coarser data, corrected for errors in air pressure and daily temperature range. This dataset is specifically formatted for hydrological and ecological modeling applications over Great Britain.
The Lord Howe Rise offshore eastern Australia formed during Late Cretaceous rifting. This dataset includes processed pre-stack depth-migrated seismic reflection images and interpretations from a 2016 marine geophysical survey, covering a regional ~900 km east-west profile. Results help constrain the dynamic processes of continental ribbon formation.
