Excited to share that I'm now a member of the CF Conventions Committee!

CF (Climate and Forecast) conventions standardise how scientific data and metadata are stored in NetCDF files, ensuring consistency and machine readability. Looking forward to contributing and collaborating with the community to shape its future!

Hello. My colleague Luke just joined Mastodon !

Give him a follow (here and on YouTube) for recipes, tips and tricks handling #FAIR #ScientificData with #Python and R (among other things).

Long-term data collection + high resolution + alpine habitats + #OpenAccess = GREAT!

Our colleagues from #Eurac #AlpineEnvironment published a #DataPaper in #ScientificData with a bunch of climatic data along an elevational gradient.

The data come from an LT(S)ER area in #Vinschgau, #SouthTyrol, #italy

"Helicopter science" and datasets: Sarah Bratt and colleagues studied the use of Global South (GS) data by Global North researchers (in 3200 Scientific Data papers) , using OpenAlex and an LLM, ReFinEd, to identify entities in Geonames.

The % of GS authors on GS data papers has risen, but on papers using GS data only 35% have a GS researcher as 1st or last author.

p.s. Saying "ding" instead of "next slide" was new to me!
