Unveiling the Hidden Truth: How Transparency is Revolutionizing Environmental Data

Public participation in environmental conservation is increasingly important for protecting the environment, with public awareness of environmental issues rapidly rising. For scientists and engineers, being open and transparent regarding environmental data can go a long way in helping build trust with local communities and stakeholders and contribute to the development of environmental conservation policies.

Here are some tips to keep in mind when sharing environmental data with the public:

Visualise for comprehension While some members of the public will have a high understanding of environmental research and data literacy, many others won’t. It’s important to present data in an easily understandable manner using data visualisations and interactive media. This helps viewers get straight to the point with your data.

Revise and review. Make sure your data is ready for distribution before it goes public. Watch for human errors, compiling problems, and other inaccuracies; these can seriously impact public understanding of your data and get in the way of local communities and stakeholders looking to drive environmental change.

ESdat’s optional public portal upgrade helps you stay on top of your data distribution, helping you achieve data transparency and build trust with the public.

Here are just some ways ESdat improves how you share your data with the public:

Public access The Public Portal is fully integrated with ESdat, allowing you to import and share your data from the same place. Make your results publicly available for interested communities and regulators, or restrict access using a custom password.

Data visualisation Help viewers get straight to the point with ESdats data visualisation tools. Use graphs, tables, maps, and more, or present your data with clickable points in an interactive map view. Customise your data further with welcome page messages and branding visuals; the sky’s the limit with ESdat Public Portal!

Built-in approval Our robust built-in approval mechanisms help you review and approve field and lab data in a single click. Furthermore, ESdat Public Portal compiles your results for you, ensuring that everything is in the right place for publication.
