Scientists have shown that declines in the mass of the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets will lead to sea level rise affecting large areas of coastlines. Data is being collected by researchers regarding the mass of the ice creating large amounts of data which can be overwhelming to undergraduate and K-12 researchers. Visualization can lead to a better understanding of this data and guide students to involvement in polar research. The goal of this project was the implementation of code to provide an interactive display of ice depth data from Greenland expeditions. The project required the cooperation of the CReSIS and PolarGrid partnerships. The implementation involved the use of a social networking site as a gateway to ice depth data. This project is the basis of a cyberinfrastructure gateway to be implemented at ECSU using an intermediary shared services approach versus the previous generation of component based portals. |
