This webinar will present the activities, guidelines and recommendations from the WorldFAIR case studies on Geochemistry and Disaster Risk reduction.

More about the case study on Geochemistry

The WorldFAIR Geochemistry Work Package (WP) 05 is about bringing the diverse international Geochemistry community together and creating a global network of key geochemical data infrastructures. Through the formalisation of the OneGeochemistry initiative, generation of FAIR Implementation Profiles (FIPs) and community engagement this work package supports knowledge sharing of best practices and standardisation of geochemical data, enabling researchers to use and reuse data in large scale (big data) research and cross disciplinary studies.

Published reports:

• Formalisation of OneGeochemistry
• WorldFAIR Geochemistry Methodology and Outreach
• WorldFAIR Guidelines for implementing Geochemistry FIPs

More about the case study on Disaster Risk Reduction.

The global Disaster Risk Reduction community is a diverse group of people and organisations encompassing NGOs, governmental bodies, academic researchers, practitioners, and institutions actively engaged in mitigating disaster risks and fortifying resilience. The objective is to enhance the safety of people, assets, and the environment by reducing vulnerabilities to natural hazards. The community believes that local solutions are superior to top-down expert-led solutions but these localised, grassroots solutions has led to a variety of data formats, terminologies, and analysis techniques, unique and specific to different regions. This case study aims to describe this plethora of detailed, locally specific data and linguistic variants and find ways to unify them. We envision it as a significant step towards the creation of a communal language and mutual understanding within the DRR arena.The ability of DRR community members to better share data, terms, and solutions should lead to a more global understanding on the current state of DRR, lead to better solutions, and ultimately save lives.
