UW Libraries hosting alternative access to federal climate data
In light of growing concerns for the continued availability of federal climate data and tools, we would like to point you toward an ongoing effort at UW Libraries to gather alternative links to federal climate resources and websites.
This list includes links to archived versions of government webpages (for example, via the GovWayback archive and others) as well as a section titled ‘Climate, energy, & environmental data’ which lists access links for various climate datasets and tools. This list is by no means comprehensive and is likely to expand. A wide variety of institutions and organizations, such as the Data Rescue Project (not affiliated with UW), continue to work to create new archives.
We are also in the process of identifying vulnerable climate datasets and are working to ensure continuous access to crucial climate information.
As always, if you would like assistance accessing or interpreting climate data or information, we encourage you to visit our Data and Tools Library, where this information will continue to live, contact us, or submit a data request, and we are happy to help.
