Background Born and raised in New England, Elias Manos was not familiar with the Arctic, but he had a deep interest in learning about this unfamiliar place. His academic background in geography more commonly dealt with geospatial data science, particularly analyzing satellite/aerial imagery with machine learning. While Manos was still an undergraduate, he began collaborating… Read more »
This January, we kicked off our 2025 data science training with the Fundamentals in Data Management for Qualitative and Quantitative Arctic Research course in Santa Barbara, CA with seventeen visiting Arctic researchers. All participants work in different disciplines with different focuses and research, but all joined us with one common goal: Enhance their data science… Read more »
Reflecting back on 2024, the Arctic Data Center (ADC) has experienced a lot of growth that is fostered by the research community. Much of our work has come with navigating large numbers of data uploaded to the repository, growing training and educational needs from the researcher community, and the cultivation of collaboration within our team… Read more »
The Arctic Data Center (ADC) strongly values feedback from our researchers, and is committed to adapting to the evolving needs of the Arctic research community . Our support has enabled the archiving of 7,404 datasets, totaling 58 TiB of data, within the repository. In the last two years, the center has exponentially increased the amount… Read more »
Highlight: “It feels important to be doing research that is not only scientifically important but also societally important. With the mounting impacts of climate change, it becomes increasingly important to go past the science and come up with ways that communities can mitigate the impacts of climate change” – Dr. Logan Berner Born and… Read more »
