This dataset provides comprehensive hydrometeorological data from South Korea, sourced through the WAMIS Open API. It includes hourly, daily, and monthly records of precipitation, water levels, meteorological conditions, river flow rates, and suspended sediment loads. The data is collected from various stations across South Korea and is regularly updated to support environmental monitoring, research, and water resource management. Users can access real-time and historical data, making this dataset valuable for climate studies, hydrological modeling, and infrastructure planning.

This catalog includes the following data resources:

Hourly Precipitation Data: Precipitation levels recorded every hour over the last 3 days.

Daily Precipitation Data: Daily precipitation measurements covering the last 3 months.

Monthly Precipitation Data: Monthly precipitation data spanning the last 3 years.

Hourly Water Level Data: Water level data recorded hourly for various rivers, updated every 3 hours.

Daily Water Level Data: Daily water level records from the last 3 months for multiple stations.

Hourly Meteorological Data: Hourly meteorological data including temperature, humidity, wind speed, and solar radiation.

Daily Meteorological Data: Daily meteorological summaries, ideal for longer-term climate analysis.

Daily River Flow Rate Data: Daily records of river flow rates for the current year.

Suspended Sediment Load Data: Information on sediment load concentrations and flow rates over the last 3 years.

This dataset contains citizen science water quality measurements collected under the Be-Resilient initiative of the UNESCO Intergovernmental Hydrological Programme (IHP). Data were gathered across multiple Biosphere Reserves in South Africa as part of ongoing efforts to enhance community-based monitoring and local resilience to hydroclimatic risks.

The dataset includes in-situ observations of key water quality parameters, such as pH, electrical conductivity, turbidity, dissolved oxygen, and temperature, each accompanied by localized timestamps and contextual metadata. Measurements were obtained by trained citizen scientists and local volunteers, following standardized protocols designed to ensure comparability across sites and over time.

Individual identifiers have been removed to protect the privacy of participants. The dataset serves as an open, quality-controlled source for hydrological and environmental analyses, education, and early-warning applications. It contributes to the broader Be-Resilient programme objective of promoting citizen and open science approaches for climate adaptation, data democratization, and the co-production of water knowledge in vulnerable and data-scarce regions.

The Global Sandwatch Dataset consolidates participatory observations collected through UNESCO’s Sandwatch Programme, a global citizen science and education initiative promoting climate change adaptation and sustainable coastal management. The dataset contains standardized monitoring data from 145 beaches in more than 50 countries, contributed by over 300 community observers, schools, and environmental groups.

Covering over a decade of observations, the dataset documents beach morphology, erosion and accretion patterns, composition, debris, human activities, water quality, wave and current dynamics, vegetation, and fauna. Each record reflects local community engagement in data collection and environmental stewardship, fostering awareness and resilience within coastal ecosystems-especially in Small Island Developing States (SIDS) and low-lying coastal regions.

The data structure follows the Sandwatch methodology of Monitoring, Analysing, Sharing, and Taking Action (MAST) and aligns with UNESCO’s Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) and climate adaptation frameworks. It provides a unique interdisciplinary resource integrating environmental, social, and educational dimensions of coastal change, valuable for research, education, and policy design in coastal resilience and participatory monitoring.

Composed of 669 biosphere reserves in 120 countries, including 16 transboundary sites, the World Network of Biosphere Reserves (WNBR) of the UNESCO Man And Biosphere (MAB) Programme consists of a dynamic and interactive network of sites of excellence. It works to foster the harmonious integration of people and nature for sustainable development through participatory dialogue, knowledge sharing, poverty reduction, human well-being improvements, respect for cultural values and by improving society’s ability to cope with climate change.For more information, visit: http://www.unesco.org/new/en/natural-sciences/environment/ecological-sciences/man-and-biosphere-programme/

The World Heritage List includes 1248 properties forming part of the cultural and natural heritage which the World Heritage Committee considers as having outstanding universal value.

These include 972 cultural, 235 natural and 41 mixed properties in 170 States Parties. As of October 2024, 196 States Parties have ratified the World Heritage Convention.

The Reference Observatory of Basins for INternational hydrological climate change detection (ROBIN) project established a new long-term collaboration of international experts to establish and sustain a global reference hydrological network (RHN), through common standards, protocols, indicators, and data infrastructure. ‘Reference Hydrometric Networks’ (RHNs), consist of gauging stations whose catchments are relatively undisturbed and record high quality data and little missing data. The concept of RHNs, their history and evolution are described in (Whitfield et al., 2012) previously and many countries have already established RHNs, however this is the first initiative to bring them together at a global level. The ROBIN Full Dataset consists of 3,060 stations in 30 countries, however the dataset described here is the ROBIN Public Dataset which contains metadata records for all 3,060 stations and daily streamflow data for a total of 2,386 stations. This tiered approached was due to data sharing restrictions in some countries. More information about the ROBIN Network and dataset can be found on the project website: https://www.ceh.ac.uk/our-science/projects/robin

Caravan is an open community dataset of meteorological forcing data, catchment attributes, and discharge data for catchments around the world. Additionally, Caravan provides code to derive meteorological forcing data and catchment attributes in the cloud, making it easy for anyone to extend Caravan to new catchments. The vision of Caravan is to provide the foundation for a truly global open source community resource that will grow over time.

The Caravan dataset that was released together with the paper. Since Version 1.6, the dataset is published in two different Zenodo repositories, depending on the filetype of the timeseries data.

Outcome of the 'Visual Inspection for Defining the Safety Upgrading Strategies’ (VISUS) approach to assess the school safety in the Chimanimani District after the Cyclone Idai. A VISUS survey across 15 schools in the Chimanimani district was conducted to gauge rehabilitation needs and identify key areas to build resilience.
