Call for Nominations The Polar Geospatial Center is seeking nominations for their Science and Operations Advisory Committee (SOAC). PGC is recruiting members to represent 3 communities: 1) NSF Facilities, 2) Polar Operations/Logistics, and 3) NSF-funded Polar science. Candidates can be…
…of the coldest and driest ice-free areas on Earth. However, ephemeral glacial melt streams host a variety of photosynthetic extremophile communities that are adapted to these harsh environmental conditions. Composed primarily of microbial colonies, mosses, and the less common microinvertebrates,…

…stack of individual strip DEMs and therefore are not intended for temporal research but most valuable for visualizations and comprehensive coverage. Since 2020, the PGC has employed a sophisticated median-style mosaicking technique (read more below), ensuring exceptional reliability and refinement….
…turn affects land surface cover. Information contained within existing and rapidly growing collections of high-resolution satellite imagery (Big Imagery) is here extracted across the Arctic region through a collaboration between software engineers, computer- and earth scientists. More specifically, we are…
