The SIRIUS inventory integrates data from (i) the Sentinel-1/2 derived Arctic coastal human impact dataset (SACHI) (Bartsch et al., 2021), (ii) OpenStreetMap dataset for the infrastructure and land use information (OpenStreetMap Contributors and Geofabrik GmbH, 2018), (iii) the pan-Arctic catchments summary database (ARCADE) for the watersheds (Speetjens et al., 2022), (iv) the modeled Northern Hemisphere permafrost map by Obu et al. (2018), and (v) the contaminated sites database and reports by the State of Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation (2023) (DEC) to create a unified new dataset of critical infrastructure and human-impacted areas as well as permafrost and watershed information for Alaska. The dataset is deployed as a GeoPackage and can be imported to spatial databases (e.g. PostgreSQL/PostGIS), a Geographic Information System (e.g. QGIS), and used within geospatial processing libraries (e.g. Python's GeoPandas). All layers can be queried either in dependence or combination with one ... : {"references": ["Bartsch, A., Pointner, G., Nitze, I., Efimova, A., Jakober, D., Ley, S., H\u00f6gstr\u00f6m, E., Grosse, G., and Schweitzer, P.: Expanding infrastruc- ture and growing anthropogenic impacts along Arctic coasts, Environmental Research Letters, 16, 115 013, https://doi.org/10.1088/1748- 9326/ac3176, 2021.", "OpenStreetMap Contributors and Geofabrik GmbH: Geofabrik Download Server, http://download.geofabrik.de/, [Online; accessed 20.
