  1. How can countries make better decisions when census data is incomplete or outdated?

    At the 2026 Global Data Festival in Nairobi, WorldPop showcased how AI, geospatial mapping and population intelligence are helping governments improve census operations, vaccination planning, climate resilience and official statistics.

  3. RE: fediscience.org/@rahmstorf/116

    Vanishing Research Data

    Announced early in 2025

    Utterly foreseeable

    The reason why and what to expect next : project2025.observer

    All research institutions have an urgent need of a strong and resilient Data Policy (not only in climate science).

    (Oh yes, and a Software Policy too)

  5. While research documents behavioral adaptations to heat, we lack systematic, empirical understanding of how these adaptations change daily urban mobility patterns. Here, we combine location-based digital trace mobility data from mobile phones with high-resolution #climatedata, to provide evidence that heat not only reduces activity and restructures mobility, but that it exerts variable pressures on different groups, creating #vulnerabilities and potentially amplifying #socialinequalities

    We'll try for a third time. This has been archived 2X already. This time I just removed all caching capability and basically rewrote the whole package for a major release that breaks backward capability but simplifies using it. Now it only has two single functions, one creates a data.table the other a {terra} SpatRaster of the CRU CL 2.0 climate data either by download or from local files.

  9. Because I'm a glutton for punishment, I'm resurrecting (trying for a third time) {getCRUCLdata}. I'm not even sure that anyone uses it, but since I still have it sitting around, I've overhauled it and rewritten it to remove any caching, using {rappdirs} got me in trouble the first time, using R's own user cache directory got me in trouble the second time. So twice archived, now going back with no caching aside from in-session via {httr2}. codeberg.org/ropensci/getCRUCL #RStats #ClimateData

  13. In 2025, all European glacier regions saw a net mass loss, with Iceland recording its 2nd‑largest loss since 1976. It was the 4th year in a row that all 19 global glacier regions lost mass.

    Blue Hill Observatory near Boston has logged weather data for 141 years straight since 1885. This data helps the National Weather Service and climate researchers.

    Are hot and cold extremes declining in the US? See regional data and scientific debate on temperature changes since 1899.

  20. RE: fediscience.org/@ZLabe/1163154

    Why do politicians of democratic parties no longer react to #climatedata by #climatescientists in any rational way? Why do they not take any fast measures to cut down human climate-hazardous emissions to mitigate the #climatecrisis, in a socially fair way? Why do they not cooperate to combat #disinformation on the #climatecrisis, even in Parliaments, by far-right politicians?

  22. @tc.copernicus.org.articles

    A recent result from the Climate Change Initiative (CCI) #SeaIce project I happen to co-lead for the European #Space Agency.

    Stefan Kern (University of Hamburg) investigated the accuracy of #SeaIce Concentration data obtained from an old US satellite: Nimbus-5 (1972 - 1977). This gives some confidence in sea-ice data from before most #ClimateData starts (1979).

    You can read a bit more about the ESMR data itself here:

  24. even when there is a lot of vegetation. We looked at how water availability changed over time and space by combining #WIMI with long-term records of precipitation & #climatedata. The results show that surface water is slowly disappearing across the study area, even in years with normal rainfall. This suggests that the water retention capacity is changing & the stress on groundwater is rising. The annual WIMI values were somewhat related to rainfall, but they have been becoming less and less
