Vegetation map of Trail Valley Creek from airborne orthophotos, laser scanning and field work data, Northwest Territo...
The vegetation map distinguishes between five tundra vegetation types, trees, and open water at the forest-tundra transition north of Inuvik, Northwest Territories, Canada. The... -
A high spatial resolution soil carbon and nitrogen dataset for the northern permafrost region
This spatial dataset is quantifying soil organic carbon (SOC) and total nitrogen (TN) storage with their carbon to nitrogen ratio (C/N) in soils of the northern circumpolar... -
Land cover classification of tundra environments from Landsat, 2000-2001, Lena Delta, Laptev Sea Region (RU)
The study was based on land cover classification of three almost cloud free Landsat-7 ETM+ satellite images. The acquisition dates are 27 July 2000 (path 131, rows 8 and 9) and... -
Raster Circumpolar Arctic Vegetation Map (CAVM) from AVHRR, MODIS and elevation data

Polygonal Tundra Geomorphology Map from Landsat time series, 2014, Alaskan Arctic Coastal Plain (US)
We mosaicked twelve LandSat-8 OLI satellite images taken during the summer of 2014, which were used in an object based image analysis (OBIA) to classify the landscape. We mapped... -
NDVI trend from Landsat time series, 1999-2014, Alaskan Arctic Coastal Plain (US)
Normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) trend map was computed for the Alaskan Arctic Coastal Plain between 1999 and 2014. The decadal trend of each pixel was computed... -

We mapped the occurrence of more than one million ice wedge polygons over a landscape of approximately 1,200 square kilometers, just south of Prudhoe Bay in northern Alaska,... -
Ground ice maps from paleogeographic modelling approach, Canada (CA)
Ground ice melt caused by climate-induced permafrost degradation may trigger significant ecological change, damage infrastructure, and alter biogeochemical cycles. The... -
Circumpolar raster grids of permafrost extent and geohazard potential for near-future climate scenarios
One of the consequences of warming climate is rising ground temperatures and degradation of perennially frozen ground, permafrost. Thawing of near-surface permafrost can cause... -
