Maps and Supporting Data; visual description of a series of databases that include permanent plots, research grids, regions, a watershed-the Upper Kuparuk River Region, the entire Kuparuk River Basin, Alaska, and the Circumpolar Arctic.

This section contains maps, GIS Data, and supporting information. The maps can be downloaded as PDF files or as geographic information system (GIS) databases. They can also be accessed by means of applications that permit the user to customize the maps, visualize the information as though from an aircraft, and overlay various map themes.

  1. Map Catalog:
    This section contains all the maps, which can be selected by region, scale, theme, or time. The Atlas also contains digital map data in a variety of forms.
  2. Structure and 4-D Framework
    The Atlas has a four dimensional framework that allows users to select maps according the region, scale, theme, or time.
  3. Visualization Tools
    Students and researchers can explore the Arctic in a variety of ways. There are two different visualization tools that display GIS data (SwathViewer and GINA Map Server). There are also several short QuickTime movies that fly over the Arctic.
