BACKGROUND
Toolik
Field Station is located in the foothills of the Brooks
Range on Alaska's north slope and is administered by the Institute
of Arctic Biology at the University
of Alaska Fairbanks. The station supports a long-standing
and rapidly expanding community of scientists and research projects
representing individual and collaborative efforts from US and international
institutions. Research based at Toolik covers topics in terrestrial and aquatic ecology, atmospheric science, physical sciences, physiology of arctic breeding birds, mammals and insects, and includes a broad range of temporal and spatial scales. Toolik also provides leadership integrating pan-arctic research, and developing relationships among other key, international nodes of arctic science. These efforts, such as the Arctic Observing Network (IPY-AON), allow research results to be compared and scaled globally. The ability to successfully conduct rich, integrated research requires a multi-faceted support structure at the station. As a component of Toolik Field Station, the Geographic Information Systems (GIS) Program fills an expansive role working directly with scientists and administrators for the advancement of research and management, at Toolik and regionally, and provides logistical and management support as an enterprise GIS.
MISSION
The mission of
Toolik Field Station GIS is to facilitate and enhance arctic research, and to increase research and management efficiency, effectiveness and capability. This is accomplished: 1) through direct consultation and participation with scientists, incorporating spatial data and analyses into pre-existing research, 2) through GIS support of administrative and management infrastructure and production of planning tools for land management and permitting, 3) through comprehensive project-level participation; from proposal to publication, and 4) through outreach to agencies and participation in regional and international entities developing Arctic Spatial Data Infrastructure (ASDI) and Decision Support Systems (DSS). Toolik GIS provides a rich spatial database, project-specific data development, spatial analysis, technical expertise, consultation and documentation toward achieving these goals. Services are available at the station during the summer field season, and through the Toolik GIS Office at UAF year round.
