Data Refuge (#datarefuge) is a project concerned with saving (United States) federal climate and environmental data. It's an experiment by the Penn Program in the Environmental Humanities (ppehlab.org/).

They hold real life "Data Rescue" events (ppehlab.org/datarescue/) and can be followed on their Twitter account.

Tools

Their tooling can be found at envirodatagov.org/event-toolkit/.

Results

They form part of the Internet Archive's End of Term Presidential Harvest 2016, but data they grab may apparently be hosted by either the organisations holding the Data Rescue events and/or in a custom repository built using Amazon Web Services integrated with CKAN.
