Welcome to the Geosciences Data Support site. Here you will find information about data management, working with personal data, and Open Science & FAIR data. The home pages for each section cover the basics of these topics, with more in-depth pages on subtopics. You can also access them with the tiles below.

In addition, there are manuals for using data management tools, computing resources available, and find out about the Geo Data Team itself.

This website is for researchers, teachers, and support staff of the Faculty of Geosciences, who are looking for guidance and/or support on these topics.

We are the Geosciences Data Team, a group of data specialists dedicated to supporting researchers with planning, processing, archiving, publishing, and managing their research data and code. We are available to help within research and education settings in any way to address data and code needs. By providing a wide range of services and expertise, we bridge the gap between research, ICT, and Research Data Management (RDM) and make your research and its data more valuable.

Data sharing and management is a crucial aspect of modern scientific research; your data will be shared with your future self and your direct colleagues, and we encourage you to share with the wider scientific community. We provide guidance for data management and sharing, so you can make the most of your research hours to achieve your goals and to share your work with the world. By sharing your data effectively and FAIR-ly, your data becomes more easily reusable for yourself and your peers. Data sharing is also becoming the norm in the wider scientific community; therefore, this will improve the dissemination of your work. We strongly encourage you to contact us for more information, and to explore the resources we have created in the Open and FAIR Science section.

Please also check out the tiles about the faculty Open Science & Data policy, our Workshops and Open Office Hours!

We regularly update and renew the content of our website (last update: January 2026) and we would love to hear your feedback on the content and layout of the site. At the bottom of each page, you will find a feedback form, where you can share your thoughts on our content and layout.
