Coverage reveals that six additional U.S. science data projects have received German funding, including initiatives called SHIELD and SEND (Secure Endangered Earth Data), amid growing European distrust of U.S. climate science policy under Trump.
“The deletion of data has also become a possibility, and there is a risk that [data] could be manipulated to skew findings in a desired direction.”

My new report for Yale E360: Many scientific data sets are available online, but most of them are physically stored in only one place. In a time of increasing volatility through political interference, natural disasters, cyberattacks and war, the risk of losing precious information looms large. Scientists are responding with initiatives to store…

Wissenschaft lebt von Daten, über das Internet werden viele von ihnen global geteilt. Die meisten Datensätze werden bisher aber nur an einem Ort physisch gespeichert. Deshalb bekommen es Wissenschaftler*innen nun mit der Angst zu tun – wegen politischer Übergriffe, Naturkatastrophen, Cyberattacken und Kriegen. Sind sogar Daten des Weltklimarats…
