| Summary: | 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 ... |
