SEND Earth Data addresses the growing need to safeguard Earth System Science (ESS) data and services against disruptions. Its four Working Packages (WP) translate the project’s goals into coordinated activities to strengthen data resilience, foster national and international collaboration, and ensure the long-term availability of essential research data and services.
Builds a collaborative network
of German Earth system science data centres, connecting national and
international partners to establish mutual backup capabilities and ensure
coordinated responses to data risks.

Implements concrete data rescue
and preservation measures for high-priority datasets and services, closing
redundancy gaps and developing standardized technical and organizational
workflows. Its key output is a set of SEND Resilience Blueprints to
guide future rescue and curation activities.

Identifies legal requirements
and potential barriers to transferring, preserving, and sharing endangered
research data. It develops a legal best-practice framework and provides
guidance to ensure that data rescue activities comply with relevant regulations
and FAIR principles.

Analyses vulnerabilities and
redundancy gaps across the international Earth system science data landscape,
using lessons from the project to inform future resilience strategies. Its key
output is a Landscape Analysis Report and Strategic Roadmap to
strengthen German and European data resilience and data sovereignty.
