Raw data for Infrastructure and Awareness Landscape Analysis in sub-Saharan Africa
<p>Persistent identifiers that are well-connected are essential for enhancing research, researchers, and research institutions. The comprehensive raw data shared on PIDs infrastructure and awareness landscape analysis in sub-Saharan Africa is taken from service providers and organizations, including Open DOAR, the Registry of Open Access Repositories (ROAR), the Registry of Research Data Repositories (Re3data), UNESCO, Lyrasis (Dspace), Dataverse, Open Journal System (OJS), among others. The data shared here was collected in August 2023. The data shared are secondary data, and the position is strictly based on the primary source data author. The data is restricted to what is available on the internet and does not include locally hosted offline data.</p> <p>Further analysis of the raw data suggested some salient implications for PIDs awareness in the region. Variations were observed across the various data sources, while some interesting correlations emerged from the collected data. There are countries with some PIDs infrastructure, while others are yet to establish a visible presence in PIDs infrastructure. The visibility of PIDs is somewhat related to the awareness level as well as the policy established on open access in the represented countries across the region.</p>

MarTREC Project Datasets for Effect of Permeability Variation of Expansive Yazoo Clay at the Maritime and Multimodal Transportation Infrastructure in Mississippi
<p>The existence of Yazoo clay soil in Mississippi frequently causes distress to the pavement and cause deformation at the slopes in highways and levees, which are a critical component in Maritime and multimodal transportation infrastructure. Each year, fixing the pavement requires a significant maintenance budget of MDOT. Also, the infiltration of the rainwater in the highway and levee slopes leads to landslides, which require millions of maintenance dollars each year. Due to the shrinkage and swelling behavior of the Yazoo clay, the hydraulic conductivity varies over the different seasons and has higher vertical permeability during the dry season. With high vertical permeability, the rainwater can easily percolate in the pavement subgrade and slopes, which accelerates the failure. The current study investigates the change in unsaturated vertical and horizontal permeability and its effect on the maritime and multimodal infrastructures, especially on the pavement and slopes of highway embankment and levees. The attached datasets include the laboratory test and finite element modeling findings.</p>
Engaging the Business and Tourism Industry in Visualizing Sea Level Rise Impacts to Transportation Infrastructure in Waikiki, Hawaii
<p>Transportation planners in coastal communities plan for future hazards and risks of sea-level rise (SLR), and often, they communicate risk in public meetings via PowerPoint presentations with charts as well as two-dimensional (2D) maps that visualize information using Geographic Information Systems (GIS) technologies. The project investigates the use of immersive technology to communicate SLR risk, including the development of an immersive three-dimensional (3D) model of the Waikiki neighborhood of Honolulu, Hawaii. According to the project’s original methodology, participants would have experienced the model using virtual reality (VR). However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the team pivoted to creating and implementing an internet-based survey instrument with embedded 2D charts and video of the animated 3D model. The flooding projections were derived from National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) data. NOAA supplies the SLR Viewer, a screening-level tool that uses the best-available national projections to map areas vulnerable to current and future flood risks.</p>

Infrastructure Climate Resilience Assessment Data Starter Kit for South Africa
<p> This starter data kit collects extracts from global, open datasets relating to climate hazards and infrastructure systems. </p> <p> These extracts are derived from global datasets which have been clipped to the national scale (or subnational, in cases where national boundaries have been split, generally to separate outlying islands or non-contiguous regions), using Natural Earth (2023) boundaries, and is not meant to express an opinion about borders, territory or sovereignty. </p> <p> Human-induced climate change is increasing the frequency and severity of climate and weather extremes. This is causing widespread, adverse impacts to societies, economies and infrastructures. Climate risk analysis is essential to inform policy decisions aimed at reducing risk. Yet, access to data is often a barrier, particularly in low and middle-income countries. Data are often scattered, hard to find, in formats that are difficult to use or requiring considerable technical expertise. Nevertheless, there are global, open datasets which provide some information about climate hazards, society, infrastructure and the economy. This "data starter kit" aims to kickstart the process and act as a starting point for further model development and scenario analysis. </p> <p>Hazards:</p> <ul> <li>coastal and river flooding (Ward et al, 2020; Baugh et al, 2024)</li> <li>extreme heat and drought (Russell et al 2023, derived from Lange et al, 2020)</li> <li>tropical cyclone wind speeds (Russell 2022, derived from Bloemendaal et al 2020 and Bloemendaal et al 2022)</li> </ul> <p>Exposure:</p> <ul> <li>population (Schiavina et al, 2023)</li> <li>built-up area (Pesaresi et al, 2023)</li> <li>roads (OpenStreetMap, 2023)</li> <li>railways (OpenStreetMap, 2023)</li> <li>power plants (Global Energy Observatory et al, 2018)</li> <li>power transmission lines (Arderne et al, 2020)</li> </ul> <p>Contextual information:</p> <ul> <li>elevation (European Union and ESA, 2021)</li> <li>land-use and land cover (Copernicus Climate Change Service and Climate Data Store, 2019)</li> <li>administrative boundaries from geoBoundaries (Runfola et al., 2020)</li> </ul> <p> The spatial intersection of hazard and exposure datasets is a first step to analyse vulnerability and risk to infrastructure and people. </p> <p> To learn more about related concepts, there is a free short course available through the Open University on <a href="https://www.open.edu/openlearncreate/course/view.php?id=12278">Infrastructure and Climate Resilience</a>.

Infrastructure Climate Resilience Assessment Data Starter Kit for Democratic Republic of the Congo
<p> This starter data kit collects extracts from global, open datasets relating to climate hazards and infrastructure systems. </p> <p> These extracts are derived from global datasets which have been clipped to the national scale (or subnational, in cases where national boundaries have been split, generally to separate outlying islands or non-contiguous regions), using Natural Earth (2023) boundaries, and is not meant to express an opinion about borders, territory or sovereignty. </p> <p> Human-induced climate change is increasing the frequency and severity of climate and weather extremes. This is causing widespread, adverse impacts to societies, economies and infrastructures. Climate risk analysis is essential to inform policy decisions aimed at reducing risk. Yet, access to data is often a barrier, particularly in low and middle-income countries. Data are often scattered, hard to find, in formats that are difficult to use or requiring considerable technical expertise. Nevertheless, there are global, open datasets which provide some information about climate hazards, society, infrastructure and the economy. This "data starter kit" aims to kickstart the process and act as a starting point for further model development and scenario analysis. </p> <p>Hazards:</p> <ul> <li>coastal and river flooding (Ward et al, 2020; Baugh et al, 2024)</li> <li>extreme heat and drought (Russell et al 2023, derived from Lange et al, 2020)</li> <li>tropical cyclone wind speeds (Russell 2022, derived from Bloemendaal et al 2020 and Bloemendaal et al 2022)</li> </ul> <p>Exposure:</p> <ul> <li>population (Schiavina et al, 2023)</li> <li>built-up area (Pesaresi et al, 2023)</li> <li>roads (OpenStreetMap, 2023)</li> <li>railways (OpenStreetMap, 2023)</li> <li>power plants (Global Energy Observatory et al, 2018)</li> <li>power transmission lines (Arderne et al, 2020)</li> </ul> <p>Contextual information:</p> <ul> <li>elevation (European Union and ESA, 2021)</li> <li>land-use and land cover (Copernicus Climate Change Service and Climate Data Store, 2019)</li> <li>administrative boundaries from geoBoundaries (Runfola et al., 2020)</li> </ul> <p> The spatial intersection of hazard and exposure datasets is a first step to analyse vulnerability and risk to infrastructure and people. </p> <p> To learn more about related concepts, there is a free short course available through the Open University on <a href="https://www.open.edu/openlearncreate/course/view.php?id=12278">Infrastructure and Climate Resilience</a>.
