Updates and Opportunities

2026 Community Survey Results

To better understand the emerging needs of the Arctic research community, the Arctic Data Center launched its 2026 Community Survey, inviting anyone who works with Arctic data to share their experiences, challenges, and priorities. This blog post features feedback from the survey and our plan for improvements.

Dataset Highlight

Our newest Dataset Highlight includes a conversation with Dr. Jessica Black and Dr. Courtney Carothers on their Indigenizing Salmon Management Interviews dataset.

Collaborator Highlight

Our latest Collaborator Highlight features the Arctic Report Card, an annual report led by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) that informs the general public about recent environmental changes across the Arctic, from the sea ice, weather patterns, snow cover, and more.

Data Science Training Resources

The Arctic Data Center hosts annual data science trainings focused on programming in R and Python, reproducible practices, data management, and more. All curricula for our courses are openly available on our website for self-learning. Check it out here!
