    This Collection presents a series of articles describing hydroclimate datasets, including data sourced from remote sensing, primary measurements or theoretical models. Datasets are presented without analyses in order to support policy development and further research, with Data Descriptors providing full details of data sources, modelling, and any associated code.

    The MOSAiC Data Legacy is a principal result of the multi-national year-round research activity in the Arctic. This collection describes the main achievements in terms of publicly available research data. Furthermore, it highlights the data management principles and data policy as a milestone in pushing scientific collaboration in a huge international research project consortium in Earth System Sciences to reality.

    This collection brings together a series of works that aim to facilitate the understanding and prevention of disasters involving critical infrastructures. Leading the collection is a series of papers sharing data on the environmental impact of the nuclear accident in Fukushima. The additional papers in the collection provide data related to a broad range of critical infrastructures and enable the assessment and mitigation of possible infrastructure disaster hazards and risks.

    To understand our world's changing climate, it is imperative that we understand how climates of the past varied. This collection brings together a series of papers published at Scientific Data that describe and share valuable data on past climates, i.e. 'paleoclimate data'. The data were obtained from a variety of sources, including historical records that can inform us about the recent past, and biological or fossil proxies that allow us to learn about climates that existed long before man walked the Earth.

    Improving the energy efficiency of the buildings in which we live and work requires not just changes in construction techniques, or the use of more energy efficient technologies. Human behaviour also shapes and influences energy usage in complex and sometimes counter-intuitive ways. The papers in this collection present a series of datasets designed to help researchers explore this important topic. It is hoped that these works will help guide policy development and spark wider data sharing among researchers studying human behaviour in relation to our built environment.
