Increasing Resilience of Global Earth and Environmental Science Data Supply Chains
Increasing Resilience of Global Earth and Environmental Science Data Supply Chains
Session ID#: 249833
Session Description:
Earth & Environmental data supply chains built on networked repositories and observatories can be fundamental inputs into modelling and research ranging from faster-than-real-time emergency warning systems to longitudinal monitoring over many decades. As these global networks become accepted as critical inputs into E&E data supply chains, their vulnerability is concerning. Loss of digital data and physical assets within a repository has been assessed by repository managers and archivists, and there are many published mitigating strategies. Recent events have highlighted the need to formally assess the resilience of infrastructures underpinning these networks. Concrete examples show how they can be severely damaged due to natural disasters, political decisions, funding cuts, cyberattacks and the inability to obtain/retain skilled staff to ensure continuity. We welcome presentations that focus on data ecosystem resiliency, especially including people as resilient data professionals form the backbone of more resilient data facilities.
