How to Request Data
If you are a researcher, avalanche professional, or someone with a specific interest in our data, you can submit a request. To ensure data security and appropriate use, we may require some requests to meet certain criteria.
- Public Users: For general inquiries, we encourage users to explore available data on our website or through our public APIs.
- Researchers and Academic Institutions: We may fulfill batch data requests for individuals affiliated with recognized academic institutions.
- Avalanche Professionals: Avalanche industry professionals may request specific datasets to support operational or research needs.
Data Use and Permissions
In some cases, we may require users to disclose how data is going to be used and sign an agreement or disclaimer to protect the integrity of our data and ensure it is used appropriately. This is similar to data-sharing practices used by other organizations.
Our Research Officer oversees data requests. While we are committed to sharing data whenever possible, there may be technical limitations based on the infrastructure needed to process and deliver large datasets.
