  • Arctic Infrastructure: Sentinel-1 and Sentinel-2 derived Arctic Coastal Human Impact dataset, Pan-Arctic Region, 2016 - 2020
Title: Arctic Infrastructure: Sentinel-1 and Sentinel-2 derived Arctic Coastal Human Impact dataset, Pan-Arctic Region, 2016 - 2020
### Overview The SACHI (Sentinel-1/2 derived Arctic Coastal Human Impact) dataset has been developed as part of the HORIZON2020 project Nunataryuk by b.geos (www.bgeos.com). V1 covered a 100km buffer from the Arctic Coast (land area), for areas with permafrost near the coast. V2 covers additional selected areas extending the coverage to the south. It is based on Sentinel-1 and Sentinel-2 data from 2016-2020 using the algorithms described in Bartsch et al. (2020). It is a supplement to Bartsch et al. (2023). This dataset contains detected coastal infrastructure separated into seven different categories: linear transport infrastructure (asphalt), linear transport infrastructure (gravel), linear transport infrastructure (undefined), buildings (and other constructions such as bridges), other impacted area (includes gravel pads, mining sites), airstrip, and reservoir or other water body impacted by human activities. This SACHI version 2 dataset was post-processed by the Permafrost Discovery Gateway visualization pipeline. This workflow cleaned, standardized, and visualized the data as two Tile Matrix Sets per year. One Tile Matrix Set is the data in the form of GeoPackages, or staged tiles, and the other Tile Matrix Set is the staged tiles in the form of GeoTIFF tiles. The highest resolution tiles were resampled to produce GeoTIFFs for lower resolutions. This data is visualized on the Permafrost Discovery Gateway portal: https://arcticdata.io/catalog/portals/permafrost/Imagery-Viewer ### References Bartsch, A., Widhalm, B., von Baeckmann, C., Efimova, A., Tanguy, R., and Pointner, G.

Data was collected for lakes with a maximum extent larger than one hectare, buffered by 30 meters, within four discontiguous transects across the Arctic region at latitudes greater than 60 degrees North. This region covers large parts of the northern permafrost terrain. This annual lake area data was merged with lake size trend attributes derived from the years 2011-2020. Lake area change rates were normalized by area and/or perimeter. The lake extraction methodology is based on Nitze et al, 2017 and 2018. This dataset is version 2.0. You can find version 1.0, related to Nitze et al. 2018 here: https://apgc.awi.de/dataset/hot-t1-prd-lake-ls-1999-2014 https://apgc.awi.de/dataset/hot-t2-prd-lake-ls-1999-2014 https://apgc.awi.de/dataset/hot-t3-prd-lake-ls-1999-2014 https://apgc.awi.de/dataset/hot-t4-prd-lake-ls-1999-2014 Data files were merged, and the annual permanent and seasonal water data for 2017-2021, a subset of the available years, was fed into the Permafrost Discovery Gateway visualization workflow. This workflow cleaned, standardized, and visualized the data and output two Tile Matrix Sets per year. One Tile Matrix Set is the data in the form of GeoPackages, or staged tiles, and the other Tile Matrix Set is the staged tiles in the form of GeoTIFF tiles. The highest resolution tiles were resampled to produce GeoTIFFs for lower resolutions. In the future, this dataset will be expanded for annual data for 1984-2021. This visualized data will be published on the Permafrost Discovery Gateway portal: https://arcticdata.io/catalog/portals/permafrost/Imagery-Viewer Data limitations in use: This data is part of an initial release of the pan-Arctic data product for lake area and size trends, and it is expected that there are constraints on its accuracy and completeness. Users are encouraged to provide feedback regarding how they use this data and issues they encounter during post-processing. Please reach out to the dataset contact or a member of the Permafrost Discovery Gateway team via support@arcticdata.io.

    {"Abstract":["### Access\n\nAll files can be accessed and downloaded from the directory via: [http://arcticdata.io/data/10.18739/A2S17SV7D](http://arcticdata.io/data/10.18739/A2S17SV7D).\n\n### Overview\nThis data product contains surface water bodies (excluding ocean) detected from the near infrared band of Maxar satellite imagery across the Pan-Arctic tundra region, as defined by the Circumpolar Arctic Vegetation Map (https://www.geobotany.uaf.edu/cavm/). Maxar satellite imagery was acquired between the years 2001-2021 at a spatial resolution of less than 1 meter (m). The dataset is stored in GeoPackages organized into grid cells—tiles and subtiles—following the Polar Geospatial Center Mosaic indexing scheme. Each 100 km (kilometer) × 100 km tile contains a 5 × 5 grid of 20 km × 20 km subtiles.\n\nEach GeoPackage includes: (i) the original raster water mask named "water_raster_mask" and (ii) a vector layer named "water_vector" derived from the mask boundaries. The vector layer also reports water-covered area (m² [meters squared]) for each polygon. Filtering removes very small objects (less than 2 m²) and masks the ocean boundary (National Snow and Ice Data Center) to reduce spurious features."]}

    Contains a list of Arctic communities suitable for providing context in other geospatial data visualizations. Dataset is limited to communities greater than or equal to 55 degrees north latitude, with populations greater than or equal to 10,000 as of 2022, except for Alaska communities which allow populations as small as 500. The intent of this dataset is to provide intuitive landmarks that help with interpretation of other geospatial datasets. This dataset contains minimal fields: community name, two-letter country abbreviation, latitude and longitude geometry, estimated population as of 2022, and Geonames identifier. This dataset is visualized on the Permafrost Discovery Gateway (https://arcticdata.io/catalog/portals/permafrost/Imagery-Viewer), an online scientific gateway that makes information of changing permafrost conditions throughout the Arctic available by providing access to very high resolution satellite data products and new visualization tools that will allow exploration and discovery for researchers, educators, and the public at large.

    ### Access All files can be accessed and downloaded from the directory via: [https://arcticdata.io/data/10.18739/A24Q7QS3R/](https://arcticdata.io/data/10.18739/A24Q7QS3R/). ### Overview Tundra Capillary Networks (TCNs) are emerging drainage systems formed through the coalescence and degradation of ice-wedge polygon troughs and represent a key mechanism of hydrological reorganization in permafrost landscapes. This dataset consists of computer vision–derived semantic segmentation outputs and associated graph-theoretic analyses represented in vectorized formats. The data capture the spatial structure, connectivity, and topology of TCNs across heterogeneous Arctic tundra environments. The purpose of this dataset is to support analyses of Arctic hydrology, permafrost landscape evolution, and geomorphological processes. By providing a standardized, scalable representation of TCN structure and dynamics, this dataset enables comparative studies across space and time and facilitates integration with network-based, statistical, and geospatial modeling frameworks.

    ### Overview This dataset contains simulated significant wave height data generated from the WaveWatch III model run from 2020 up to 2070. It was produced to predict future environmental hazards threatening maritime navigation within the Arctic. Four unique simulations were produced using different Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 6 (CMIP6) climate models' wind and sea ice projections along the shared socioeconomic pathways 5-8.5 (SSP5-8.5) future emissions scenario. The climate models used include: CNRM-CM6-1-HR, EC-Earth3, MPI-ESM1-2-HR, and MRI-ESM2-0. For each climate model, data is organized into yearly files written to NetCDF format. The data is contained on a spatially-varying unstructured triangular mesh which spans from 50° North (N) to 89.9°N and 180° West (W) to 180° East (E). The 'hs' variable presents the significant wave height (highest one thirds of wave heights) to occur for each node during the simulation in 6 hour intervals. ### Access Data files can be accessed via: [https://arcticdata.io/data/10.18739/A2ST7DZ74/](https://arcticdata.io/data/10.18739/A2ST7DZ74/)
