The Arctic Permafrost Geospatial Center-a portal for high-quality open access scientific permafrost datasets

摘要: Thematic Open Access data portals foster and support an open data culture in order to reduce knowledge gaps and data uncertainty. Here we present the Arctic Permafrost Geospatial Center (APGC), which provides open access, high quality spatial data in the field of permafrost research. The distribution and easy access of a wide range of permafrost-related data products supports multi-scale and interdisciplinary analysis of combined field, remote sensing and modelling data.
