All is Not Lost
All is Not Lost
Data are being wiped from U.S. government websites. These data are critical to informed decision-making, scientific discovery, and creating policies that improve lives and spur innovation. Some organizations are archiving these vital data resources and honoring FAIR and CARE principles. As I discover these, I will list them here.
Internet Archive is a 501(c)(3) non-profit building a digital library of Internet sites and other cultural artifacts in digital form.
Data Rescue Project is a collaboration of a group of data organizations, whose goal is to be a clearinghouse for data rescue-related efforts and data access points for public US governmental data currently at risk.
Public Environmental Data Partners is a volunteer coalition of several organizations, researchers, archivists, and students who rely on federal datasets and tools to support their work.
Safeguarding Research & Culture archives and disseminates cultural heritage and scientific knowledge. They ensure that cultural, intellectual, and scientific heritage exists in multiple copies, in multiple places, and that no single entity or group of entities can make it all disappear.
The 2024 Climate Literacy Guide: Essential Principles for Understanding and Addressing Climate Change has been removed from NOAA's Climate.gov page. Luckily, I downloaded it when it was released. This represents three years of work by countless climate scientists at federal agencies with input from climate communicators, educators, and researchers in the private sector.
Disruption
Disruption
Disruptions are critical to the health and resiliency of all ecosystems. As someone interested in how we learn and practice the science of Earth's systems, I think we can apply the concept of ecological disruptions to learn how the Earth systems science community can become more diverse, resilient, and responsive to change.
I was recently part of a forum at the 10th Annual Earth Educators' Rendezvous that focused on the concept of "Disruption". We were asked questions about the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, the role of AI in education, and how current policies and political cultures are affecting our work. I left this conversation with many new ideas and a powerful respect for what Earth systems science educators are managing in their research and teaching.
I am exploring how disruption can contribute to long-term cultural changes in Earth system science communities, especially creating a culture that emphasizes Belonging, Accessibility, Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (BAJEDI).
If you are interested in working on this together, please reach out to me.
