Data rescue: saving environmental data from extinction. [PDF]

Proc Biol Sci, 2022
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]

Geoscience Data Journal, 2018
Quantitative 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.

Hydrometry data rescue, a stake for the future [PDF]

E3S Web of Conferences, 2016
The knowledge of past events and long-term series is a base to understand phenomena, analyze climate change and forecast future events. To increase long term series and their accuracy, NUNIEAU software, sort of “Digitizing Table”, was developed and ...

Data-driven evacuation and rescue traffic optimization with rescue contraflow control

Journal of Safety Science and Resilience
In response to local sudden disasters, e.g., high-rise office or residential building fire disasters, road occupation can cause conflicts, and traffic directions may be opposite between evacuation vehicles and rescue vehicles; moreover, lane contraflow ...

Renewal of Archival Legacy Soil Data: A Case Study of the Busia Area, Kenya

Frontiers in Soil Science, 2022
Much older soils information, collectively known as legacy soils data lies idle in libraries or in the personal collections of retired soil scientists. The probability is very high for this legacy data to be lost or destroyed. We demonstrate the stepwise

Millions of digitized historical sea‐level pressure observations rediscovered

Geoscience Data Journal, 2023
Millions of sub‐daily sea‐level pressure observations taken between 1919 and 1960 over the British and Irish Isles were transcribed from paper records in the early 2000s but were not published and subsequently forgotten.

Integrating Data Rescue into the Classroom [PDF]

Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society, 2018
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.
