Eight active rock glaciers and seven protalus ramparts were documented across the South Shetland Islands, specifically on King George and Livingston Islands. This dataset, compiled by researchers and hosted by NASA, provides a record of these periglacial features in maritime Antarctica. The study notes these formations are located in recently deglaciated marginal zones, primarily below 70 meters above sea level.
Rock glaciers, Zailiysiky Range, Kungei Ranges, Tienshan, Kazakhstan, Version 1 contains an inventory of 504 rock glaciers in the Zailiyskiy Alatau mountain range. The dataset, compiled by the Kazakhstan Alpine Permafrost Laboratory and NASA, includes measurements for each glacier such as location, type, activity status, dimensions, area, orientation, and elevation. Investigations began in 1923, with key inventory work using aerial photographs and maps conducted from 1975 onward, culminating in the CAPS Version 1.0 CD-ROM release in June 1998.
Global daily fire danger indices are provided as continuous raster GeoTIFFs. The data is produced by the Copernicus organization using the ECMWF and NASA Geos-5 models, with the Fire Weather Index mapped into six classes including 'Very Extreme'. The dataset was last updated on 2026-05-21.
Port Curtis, Australia, was monitored across 15 sampling zones comprising 54 water sites. The Australian Ocean Data Network collected data on bioaccumulation by deploying three batches of ten oysters at each site twice a year, in March and August, for approximately three-month periods. Oysters were used to measure the accumulation of metals, metalloids, and fluoride from the water.
The Yukon Territory's Galkeno 300 mine site study documents zinc concentration reduction from ~150 mg/L at the mine adit to ~2 mg/L at Christal Creek. Government of Yukon researchers conducted field and lab investigations in summer 2000, analyzing water and soil samples along the drainage flowpath. Laboratory tests identified organic soils, particularly from site C, as having the highest zinc adsorption capacity.
Since the Little Ice Age, the Wheaton glacier has lost 50% of its area and 58 to 63% of its volume, with thinning and retreat accelerating in the past 40 years. This loss was quantified through sequential aerial photography and bivariate scaling analysis by the Government of Yukon. Observations from 1907 to 2005 show increased mean atmospheric temperature and winter snowfall, with temperature changes driving persistent negative mass balance.
The Yukon Geological Survey's permafrost monitoring network collected up to six years of data at seven stations between 2008 and 2013. It reports mean annual ground temperatures ranging from warm conditions (>-0.5°C) at sites like Whitehorse to colder temperatures (-2.9°C) at Beaver Creek. The dataset documents short-term warming or cooling trends at these monitoring stations.
Yukon-based research investigates volcanic ash as a natural flocculant for placer mining settling ponds. Seven ash samples were collected, dried, sieved, and analyzed, with lab tests on two samples from the Big Creek Area measuring suspended solids and turbidity. Preliminary results indicate adding 1 to 16 grams per litre of ash decreased suspended material and increased settling.
Since 1948, Wheaton Glacier has shrunk by 41%, with accelerated retreat over the past 40 years. This report from the Government of Yukon documents the glacier's changes, links them to regional climate warming, and analyzes resulting sediment delivery impacts in the watershed. The dataset was last updated on April 17, 2026.
VJ109_NRT provides atmospherically corrected surface reflectance estimates from the Suomi-NPP VIIRS instrument across 11 reflective bands. Each Level-2 product contains approximately six minutes of swath data at 375-meter and 750-meter resolutions, processed for daytime land conditions. NASA produces this near-real-time data, with metadata indicating updates as recent as March 2026.
World Bank Group data covering climate systems, exposure to impacts, resilience, greenhouse gas emissions, and energy use for Macao SAR, China. The dataset aggregates indicators relevant to climate change, which is expected to hit developing countries hardest. It was last updated on 2026-04-28.
Network contribution area scores derived from SciMAP application outputs within SAGA GIS. The scores are based on inputs from the CEH Land Cover 2007 dataset, Met Office average rainfall, and a 5-meter Digital Terrain Model. A 'High contribution' category boundary was defined by selecting areas scoring above +1 standard deviation of the score distribution.
Groundwater Dependent Terrestrial Ecosystems (GWDTE) data supports the EU Water Framework Directive's goal of achieving good ecological status. This dataset likely contains spatial and attribute information identifying terrestrial ecosystems reliant on groundwater, such as wetlands and fens. Its cross-platform presence on UK and EU open data portals signals its regulatory importance for environmental assessment and water resource management.
Eighteen stations in the western Italian Alps provide monthly snowfall amounts and snow cover duration in days, with records spanning from 1877 to 1996. The dataset is derived from daily snow stake measurements taken at 8 a.m. local time and aggregated into monthly totals. It was compiled by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).
Sea spray aerosol (SSA) directly scatters solar radiation and indirectly alters cloud albedo, lifetime, and extent, impacting Earth's climate. This dataset contains simultaneous measurements of freshly emitted SSA and surface seawater properties to improve climate model parameterizations. It was produced by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.
NSW Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water provides a spatial dataset depicting In Force Water Sharing Plan boundaries for groundwater sources and management zones. The data is derived from plans gazetted under the NSW Water Management Act 2000 and is available in multiple GIS formats. Last updated on 2026-05-12, this dataset is shared under a CC-BY 4.0 license.
TES/Aura L2 Methanol Lite Nadir V007 provides methanol concentration profiles from the Tropospheric Emission Spectrometer aboard NASA's Aura satellite, launched July 15, 2004. The 'Lite' product simplifies usage by aggregating results monthly, reducing data dimensionality to retrieved pressure levels, applying validation-based corrections, and combining ancillary files. It includes mapping matrices to relate reduced retrieval vectors back to the TES forward model grid for cross-comparison with models and other data products.
March to September 2021 in situ water quality data from the Atchafalaya River and Terrebonne Basins in Louisiana, USA. The dataset contains surface measurements of temperature, salinity, turbidity, and chlorophyll-a fluorescence collected during the NASA Delta-X project's Spring and Fall field campaigns. Sampling was interrupted by Hurricane Ida, providing a record of conditions before and after a major storm event.
PM₂.₅ concentrations ranged from 12 to 750 µg/m³ and PM₁₀ from 10 to 800 µg/m³ in this study of dust events in Khuzestan Province, Iran. The dataset, authored by Alireza Yousefi Kebriya and last updated in 2026, integrates satellite-derived Aerosol Optical Depth (AOD), ground-based particulate matter data, HYSPLIT trajectory modeling, and wetland area assessments from 2018 to 2022. It reveals strong correlations between satellite and ground data and identifies six major dust pathways to Ahvaz.
Electrical field measurements of lightning and navigation data were collected by the Lightning Instrument Package (LIP) aboard a NASA ER-2 high-altitude aircraft during the Integrated Precipitation and Hydrology Experiment (IPHEx) in North Carolina. The dataset, provided by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, covers a specific campaign period from May 1, 2014 through June 14, 2014. Its primary goal was to evaluate satellite precipitation measurement accuracy and support regional hydrology models.
