The Yukon Research Centre provides information storage, retrieval and presentation services in the form of its Data Server. Focused primarily on environmental and social data, it is an on-going development project, which is intended to provide researchers with the data storage and management tools they need to work with and share their data.
- YRC continues to host the Yukon Research Metadata Catalogue, a portal dedicated to detailed information about weather data collection points across the Yukon.
- YRC has published White Pass and Yukon Route (WP&YR) Weather Data Sets, 1902-1957, showing newly recovered climate data culled from the log books of WP&YR river and railway stations over a period of 55 years
- Yukonresearch.yukoncollege.yk.ca is now fully mirrored between two server systems, providing more secure data storage and retrieval
Researchers wishing to avail themselves of this service, or other research assistance services, should contact yrcdata@yukonu.ca, or call Clint Sawicki, Director, Research Services at 1.867.668.8772.
YRC gratefully acknowledges the assistance of CANARIE, Canada's advanced research and innovation network, for it on-going support of this.
