The Arctic Data Center is the primary data and software repository for the Arctic section of the National Science Foundation’s Office of Polar Programs. Our mission is to help the research community reproducibly preserve and discover all products of NSF-funded science in the Arctic, including data, metadata, software, documents, and provenance that link these in a coherent knowledge model.
With the Arctic Data Center, researchers can:
- Submit data online in any format
- Upload software, scientific analysis code, and data
- View usage statistics of your data and a summary of your contributions
- Receive mint DOIs for your datasets to use in publications and across the web
- Experience fast, east discovery with spatial tools
