Research Data Repository of Saxon Universities

OPARA is the Open Access Repository and Archive for Research Data of Saxon Universities.


Researchers of Saxon Universities can either publish their research data on OPARA, or archive it here to comply with requirements of funding acencies and good scientic practice, without public access.

You can find the documentation of this service at the ZIH Data Compendium websites. If you need suppourt using OPARA please contact the Servicedesk of TU Dresden.

Please note: The OPARA service was recently upgraded to a new technical platform (this site). Previously stored data will not be available here immediately. It can be found at the still active old version of OPARA. These stock data will be migrated in near future and then the old version of OPARA will finally be shut down. Existing DOIs for data publications remain valid.

Manually delineated glacier calving front locations of 20 marine-terminating glaciers of the Antarctic Peninsula from 2013 to 2023
(Technische Universität Dresden, 2024-07-23) Loebel, Erik; Baumhoer, Celia; Dietz, Andreas; Scheinert, Mirko; Horwath, Martin
This dataset provides 312 manually delineated glacier calving front positions of 20 marine-terminating glaciers of the Antarctic Peninsula from 2013 to 2023. For manual delineation, we used optical Landsat-8 and Landsat-9 imagery. We provide ocean masks and frontal positions as Polygon/LineString Shapefiles and in a georeferenced tif format. The following glaciers are included in this data record: Birley Glacier, Bleriot Glacier, Boydell Glacier, Cayley Glacier, Crane Glacier, Dinsmore-Bombardier-Edgeworth Glacier system, Drygalski Glacier, Drummond Glacier, Fleming Glacier, Hariot Glacier, Hektoria-Green-Evans Glacier system, Hugi Glacier, Jorum Glacier, Murphy Wilkinson Glacier, Prospect Glacier, Punchbowl Glacier, Sjogren Glacier, Stringfellow Glacier, Trooz Glacier and Widdowson Glacier.

Dual testing field for studies of environmental and operational effects in structural damage localization of mechanical structures
(Technische Universität Dresden, 2024-07-09) Rohrer, Maximilian
This dataset accompanies the research on the impact of Environmental and Operational Conditions (EOC) on vibration-based Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) methods. It includes comprehensive acceleration data collected from a novel experimental testing field consisting of two identical mechanical structures. One structure operates in a controllable laboratory environment, while the other is subjected to real-world EOC in a field setup. The dataset captures mass along with various environmental factors affecting the field setup. This modular measurement system ensures the collection of high-quality data, making this dataset a valuable benchmark for researchers studying the effects of EOC on SHM. The dataset provides a unique opportunity for validating and developing robust SHM techniques that can adapt to varying EOC, fostering advancements in the field.
