Climate Data Store

Scientists in Germany are preparing to copy and store vast troves of American climate data, fearing the Trump administration could alter, restrict, or remove federal climate records. The effort has been likened to building an ark, preserving scientific information outside the United States in case it becomes unavailable at home, and has drawn attention as researchers weigh risks to publicly funded datasets.

Ocean Visions has launched a comprehensive knowledge platform dedicated to marine carbon dioxide removal, a set of ocean-based approaches to capturing and storing carbon. The platform is intended to consolidate research, data and resources on topics such as ocean alkalinity enhancement and seawater carbon removal, making scientific information more accessible to researchers, decision-makers and the public as interest in ocean climate solutions grows.

The Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S) is directing researchers and the public to its ERA5 reanalysis dataset and the wider Climate Data Store, which offers free access to global climate data going back decades. ERA5 combines observations with weather modelling to produce consistent records of past climate conditions, widely used for climate monitoring and research. Resources explaining what ERA5 offers and how to use the CDS are being shared alongside links to the service's online platforms.
