BR-McGill-US-Climate-Data
MONTREAL — Academics at Montreal’s McGill University are providing the U-S scientific community a platform to protect climate research under attack.
Six months ago, researchers at the school’s faculty of management launched SUSANHub.com, a database that centralizes climate research and data.
Juan Serpa, a professor at the faculty, says it was supposed to be a tool to connect researchers and professionals.
But the platform has taken on new significance at a time when the administration of U-S President Donald Trump is firing climate researchers, banning certain words from scientific articles or deleting reports altogether, and cutting funding for environmental research and universities.
Serpa says the goal is to act quickly to protect this scientific data, which he says might be at risk of being lost, by offering a safe place to store it.
