Data rescue: saving environmental data from extinction. [PDF]
Historical and long-term environmental datasets are imperative to understanding how natural systems respond to our changing world. Although immensely valuable, these data are at risk of being lost unless actively curated and archived in data repositories. The practice of data rescue, which we define as identifying, preserving, and sharing valuable data

A roadmap to climate data rescue services [PDF]
AbstractQuantitative approaches to climate risk management such as mapping or impact modelling rely on past meteorological data with daily or sub‐daily resolution, a large fraction of which have not yet been digitized. Over the last decade or so, a number of projects have contributed to the rescue of some of these data.

Meteorological data rescue: Citizen science lessons learned from Southern Weather Discovery. [PDF]
Summary Daily weather reconstructions (called “reanalyses”) can help improve our understanding of meteorology and long-term climate changes. Adding undigitized historical weather observations to the datasets that underpin reanalyses is desirable; however,

Soil legacy data rescue via GlobalSoilMap and other international and national initiatives. [PDF]
Legacy soil data have been produced over 70 years in nearly all countries of the world. Unfortunately, data, information and knowledge are still currently fragmented and at risk of getting lost if they remain in a paper format.

Data rescue in selected countries in connection with the EUMETNET DARE activity
In situ data are an essential need in the analyses of past and current climate change. All over the world, different data rescue activities try to extend existing time series and to retrieve data in spatial and temporal data sparse regions.

From books to bytes: A new data rescue tool
Historical data provides observational information crucial to our understanding of the evolution of geophysical processes. However, there is a gap between predigital age observations, which are typically handwritten, and data that is discoverable and ...

Integrating Data Rescue into the Classroom [PDF]
AbstractOver much of the globe, the temporal extent of meteorological records is limited, yet a wealth of data remains in paper or image form in numerous archives. To date, little attention has been given to the role that students might play in efforts to rescue these data.
