Data Rescue intern: Abigail Brown
During my data rescue internship in the fall of 2024, I worked with the Centre for Community Mapping (Co-Map) to analyze the results of a nationwide survey. This survey aimed to build an inventory of freshwater ecological datasets across Canada, and assess the vulnerability of these datasets to extinction. Co-Map is an ad-hoc committee formed by researchers across several organizations concerned with the vulnerability of freshwater environmental datasets amid shifting government priorities, conflicting roles and responsibilities for environmental monitoring among organizations, staff turnover, and retirements. Data Rescue intern: Jess Lerminiaux In the fall of 2024, I had the opportunity to participate in an LDP Data Rescue internship, continuing the work done by previous intern Erica Fellin. This internship involved organizing and cleaning historical water quality data from St. Denis National Wildlife Area (SDNWA) that was collected by members of Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC), the University of Regina (U of R), and the University of Saskatchewan (U of S). The goal was to publish the data on DataStream, an open-access online platform specific to water quality data.  |
