Data Sharing Agreements (DSAs)

This is a dataset of a number of Data Sharing Agreements (DSAs) Camden has with other bodies.  A DSA is only used when the bodies do not have a contract, and are usually used between the council and another public sector organisation.  A DSA does not give the parties any legal rights to share the data: the sharing must already be legal.  DSAs are used to set out the terms and conditions to cover sharing of personal information for the reasons given in the DSA.  Some may be redacted due to security or legal reasons.  This is not a comprehensive set but we are working to add to it.  The Metropolitan Police/Council DSAs are being developed and more will be added in 2022 as they are launched.  For more information please contact DPA@camden.gov.uk

Raw imaging survey data of night-time environments around Exeter, UK, February-May 2023

This dataset contains RAW night-time imagery recorded using a Digital Single-Lens Reflex (DSLR) camera during a survey of artificial light in night-time environments across Exeter, UK between February and May 2023. This dataset comprises the CR2 imagery and information logs. The DSLR camera was setup on a tripod at each location. High Dynamic Range (HDR) imagery was taken in each cardinal direction, as well as a final photo towards zenith. The locations were chosen via randomly selecting roads through stratified random sampling of land use classes. We made each draw in a round-robin manner in quadrants of the city to ensure that they were also spatially well distributed. This data was collected by fieldworkers at the University of Exeter (primarily Sam Morrell and Maisy Inston) to process into flux-calibrated 360 degree maps of the lighting environment across the city. Full details about this dataset can be found at https://doi.org/10.5285/5da2b840-140e-473c-b9cd-d35b6c26558e

Meteorological and soil data from Whim Bog, Scotland, UK, 2003–2023

This dataset contains information about meteorological conditions, soil parameters and water table depth at Whim Bog, an ombrotrophic heather-dominated bog near Edinburgh, Scotland. Meteorological measurements were recorded at a height of 2 m above the bog on a meteorological mast which is a part of a peatland nitrogen pollution experiment established in 2002. The measurements are recorded using a wide range of automatic sensors recording continuous meteorological data reported in this dataset at 15-minute intervals. This dataset relates to measurements taken from 2003 till 2023. This long-term dataset provides a comprehensive outlook of meteorological conditions in southern Scotland over the past two decades and can help identify changing climatic trends and anomalies. The work was supported by UKCEH National Capability for UK Challenges Programme NE/Y006208/1. Full details about this dataset can be found at https://doi.org/10.5285/ba9ecad2-1740-41e6-8f73-b308340d49fe

Microplastics in sediments of the River Thames Basin, UK

This dataset provides numbers and types of plastic particles extracted from sediment samples of three tributaries of the river Thames: the River Leach, the River Lambourn and The Cut. These rivers are regularly monitored for a range of water quality and biological characteristics as part of the ongoing CEH Thames initiative project. Four sampling sites were selected based on the average percentage of effluent present in the river and population equivalent density to represent scenarios ranging from low sewage input and population equivalent density (Leach and Lanbourn) through an intermediate site (the Cut) to a site with high sewage input and population equivalent density (also in the Cut). The samples were collected between late August and early September 2014. The data provides information on the site characteristics, dry weight of sediment analysed (in grams), number of microplastic particles extracted and characteristics of particles (including shape, colour and polymer type). Types of polymers identified include: polyethylene, polypropylene, polystyrene, polyvinyl chloride, polyethylene terephthalate, nylon and polyester.
