Abstract

Historical airborne imagery for each Seward Peninsula NGEE Arctic site - Teller, Kougarok, Council - with multiple years for each site. This dataset includes mosaicked, geolocated and, where possible, orthorectified, historic airborne and recent satellite imagery. The older photos were sourced from the USGS Earth Explorer site and the newer, satellite imagery is from the Statewide Digital Mapping Initiative (SDMI) project managed by the Geographic Information Network of Alaska on behalf of the state of Alaska. Dataset DOI: 10.5440/1334616; https://doi.org/10.5440/1334616 Check with Jessica Cherry (jessica.cherry@alaska.edu), University of Alaska, and Lisa Wirth (lisa@gina.alaska.edu), Geographic Information Network of Alaska (GINA) and the Statewide Digital Mapping Initiative (SDMI), for citation information and redistribution restrictions of the imagery.
