Title: Multispectral and RGB Uncrewed Aerial Vehicle imagery for several sites in interior Alaska in 2024
### Access Dataset can be accessed and downloaded from the directory via: [http://arcticdata.io/data/10.18739/A2736M42V](http://arcticdata.io/data/10.18739/A2736M42V). ### Overview This data set includes imagery collected using Uncrewed Aerial Vehicles (UAV, i.e. drones) for a series of research sites in interior Alaska with the objective of mapping the distribution of individual plants (e.g. Eriophorum vaginatum tussocks) and other similarly sized ecosystem components. Data was collected in the summer of 2024 using a DJI Mavic 3 Enterprise quadcopter with integrated multispectral and rgb sensors. The majority of the imagery focuses on study sites within the National Ecological Observatory Network (NEON) site near Healy, Alaska. The data set also includes a small amount of ground truth data on tussock dimensions for these sites. Additional images include a series of riparian corridors with beaver wetlands along the Denali and Steese Highways.  more » « less

This project focused on dynamic soil processes and the geophysical and geomechanical characterization of permafrost. This dataset focused long-term permafrost monitoring using distributed temperature sensing (DTS) systems. The dataset provides ground temperature profiles from the active layer to the near-surface permafrost in Utqiaġvik, Alaska from 2021 to 2024, establishing a baseline for evaluating future changes in permafrost thermal conditions under natural environmental settings. Temperature measurements were collected using DTS technology along a 2-kilometer-long fiber-optic cable, co-located with a distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) array. These DTS-derived temperature profiles offer essential ground-truth data to support the interpretation of geophysical and geomechanical properties derived from DAS measurements. The outcomes of this project support realistic evaluations of infrastructure performance in Arctic Alaska and inform the design of more resilient and adaptive infrastructure systems in permafrost regions.

    ### Access Dataset can be accessed and downloaded from the directory via: [http://arcticdata.io/data/10.18739/A2599Z39H](http://arcticdata.io/data/10.18739/A2599Z39H). ### Overview This dataset contains raw sedimentary ancient DNA (sedaDNA) sequence data and associated metadata generated from a 3-meter sediment core collected from Andy Lake, Alaska. The core was obtained during fieldwork supported by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Arctic Doctoral Dissertation Research Improvement Grant #2230019, titled Assessing the impacts of Pleistocene megaherbivores on vegetation stability and resilience in the Arctic, awarded to Principal Investigator (PI) Jacquelyn L. Gill and Co-PI Alessandro Mereghetti. The primary objective of this project is to investigate how Pleistocene megafaunal diversity influenced long-term plant community dynamics and ecosystem resilience in Arctic environments. These data contribute to understanding ecological baselines and biotic responses to past climate and extinction events, with implications for modern conservation and rewilding strategies.

    ### 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.

Maxar satellite imagery was acquired between the years 2001-2021 at a spatial resolution of <1 meter (m). The dataset is stored in GeoPackages organized into grid cells—tiles and subtiles—following the Polar Geospatial Center Mosaic indexing scheme.
