| Summary: | The Barrow Area Information Database (BAID) comprises a suite ofinteractive tools and map interfaces used by researchers, field logistics personnel and program managers to gain insights into thefield research activities on the North Slope of Alaska. BAID provides arich history of Arctic field research plots, identifies currentresearch sites and instrument locations, and sets field research withinthe context of the surrounding indigenous communities and traditionalland use. Data archives, such as the National Snow and Ice Data Center(NSIDC), ultimately distribute the data resulting from efforts at theseresearch sites. However, no robust cyberinfrastructure link existsbetween the data collection domain of BAID and the data products housedat NSIDC and other archives. This poster will review work currently inprogress to identify and implement the services and interfaces needed to nabuild a bridge between BAID and the NSIDC data holdings.
