Australian Access Federation (AAF) and Phenomics Australia launched an innovation incubator project to make it easier and more secure for life sciences researchers to access and share critical phenomics data across institutions and platforms.   The project is exploring a centralised identity and access ecosystem that could streamline researcher authentication and permissions across services including the Australian Phenome Bank and Australian Stem Cell Registry.   By reducing barriers to collaboration and creating simpler, more consistent access to complex datasets, the initiative aims to accelerate research in areas such as genetics, stem cells and therapeutic development, ultimately enabling discoveries that could improve healthcare and save lives.

This dataset contains the vector data (ESRI shapefiles) for the geomorphological map of the Iezer Mountains, Southern Carpathians, Romania. It shows the glacial, periglacial and paraglacial landforms, and the topography and hydrography of the area. We mapped the landforms from ANCPI aerial photographs, ArcGIS World Imagery, the AW3D30 digital surface model (DSM) and field surveys. Coordinate system: WGS 84 (EPSG:4326)Map scale: 1:100 000 (published map)Digitising scale: approx. 1:5 000 Files:– iezer_mts_geomorphology_shp.zip: shapefiles (17 layers)– README.txt: layer and attribute descriptions, methods, and how to cite This dataset is a supplement to a manuscript submitted to a peer-reviewed journal. The full reference will be on the Zenodo page of this dataset after publication.

The Austria Country Profile was created within the initiative of the EOSC Support Office Austria (https://eosc-austria.at). It is a deliverable of the monitoring group “Austria Country Profile”. The group is tasked with the regular monitoring of EOSC building processes in Austria, i.e. Open Science and FAIR related policies, projects, activities as well as research data (management) infrastructures.

Shallow underground mining in Europe has left significant voids in the rock mass. These voids pose a risk of sinkholes in abandoned mine areas. They also pose a common hazard to buildings, roads, and rail structures. Methods for monitoring the stability of voids are severely limited due to the lack of direct access to abandoned mine workings. Therefore, the only rational way to control the behavior of underground voids is to document and monitor the phenomena and processes occurring in the rock mass within areas of shallow mining. Phenomena that require documentation include sinkhole occurrences, spatial characteristics, processes occurring in the rock mass surrounding the voids under the influence of water content and the impact of dynamic loads such as groundwater flows and vibrations generated by seismic waves. The research project "Sinkhole hazard and risk management in post-mining areas" (SIRIMA) is dedicated to standardizing research, monitoring, and sinkhole risk management methods in abandoned, underground mines. The project is partly funded by the European Union under the Coal and Steel Research Fund (RFCS) and covers post-mining regions in France, Spain, Germany, and Poland. This paper presents methodology and the first results obtained in the project.

AAF partnered with Astronomy Australia Limited to strengthen Australia’s global leadership in astronomy by developing a Trust and Identity Roadmap as the foundation for an Astronomy Data Commons.   The initiative will improve trusted, seamless researcher access across Australian and international astronomy infrastructure, enabling researchers to securely combine, manage, analyse and share massive datasets from facilities such as SKA Observatory, Vera C. Rubin Observatory and LIGO.   By improving researcher mobility, identity continuity and trust across astronomy services, the project will support greater collaboration, maximise the value of Australia’s research infrastructure investments and guide future trust and identity capability across the wider NCRIS ecosystem. 

Improved Dc computation and plotting.
