Pictured here is the Tutakoke River in Alaska, in early spring. A new archive, the National Science Foundation (NSF) Arctic Data Center, will serve as the NSF Arctic research community's primary repository for data preservation and data discovery. The new data center interface will allow users to search for data from the extensive Arctic data collection using filters, such as the name of data creator, year, identifier, taxa, location and keywords and others.
The "discovery interface" will also provide a map-based overview of the spatial distribution of data sets and allow users to zoom and pan to specific locations of interest, which will be helpful in locating historical data in specific regions.Image credit: Ryan Choi, Utah State University
