8. “This project will continue to develop an end-to-end operational cyberinfrastructure (CI) that provides users with tools and systems for sustained access and analysis of current and diverse information and data about the Barrow area. Our overarching goal is to enhance virtual scientific and other collaboration and to meet the current and growing needs of our user community through the maintenance, development of the Barrow Area Information Database” BAID Renewal Award Funded by NSF

9. Continue to liaise with users to identify, prioritize and meet their needs for field data collection, data layer generation, and DGPS surveys and mapping support. Maintain the existing suite of BAID applications and develop a new mapping application that will update the former BAID Internet Map Server (BAID-IMS) to offer a faster, user-friendly web interface with improved scalability, functionality and stability. Update aging hardware supporting BAID. Improve the interoperability of BAID with other Arctic data and CI through improved work flows, web services, and use of controlled vocabularies Establish direct links from BAID to external data at the NSIDC and develop, test and establish a range of protocols that will enable CI like BAID to link to data archived at such data centers. Train the next generation of environmental and computer scientists at a leading minority- majority university and conduct extensive education and outreach to advertise BAID and better inform and train the BAID user community. Objectives: BAID

10. Web Mapping Application Improve upon the old BAID new fast, stable, and intuitive interface new map layers more functionality decision making tools

11. Met Stations Installed in test mode with lower sampling rate this first winter Plan to support output in multiple data formats Beta data visualization for AGU Soil Temp / Moisture Leaf Wetness Precipitation Windspeed / Direction Air Temp / Moisture Solar Radiation-PAR

12. Interoperability Provide “data collection sites” to other efforts ADIwg Project metadata schema for ISO, use ADIwg translator Publish OGC webservices Hope to integrate with other North Slope Met stations

13. “Expand capacity for informed, multi-stakeholder environmental decision making on Ukpeaġvik Iñupiat Corporation lands in the coastal zone near Barrow, Alaska.” Goal: BAID Decision Support Tools Development New Project (CIAP)

14. Develop a high spatial resolution map of wetlands and conduct coastal erosion studies Expand on an existing web mapping application to develop a new interactive decision support tool for erosion monitoring and coastal development and land management Develop an office with newly trained staff in Barrow capable of improved local mapping and analytical capabilities Objectives: BAID Decision Support Tools Development

27. Development of this resource is just beginning … Feedback and expert guidance at this early stage is critical to ensure it will be helpful. Useful? How could this be applied in workflows for decision making? Specific recommendations for the tools? Where are the most important areas? Community Feedback Lars Nelson Barrow Office Manager Umiaq

28. Next Steps  New website  Acquire/Orthorectify WorldView2 imagery  Create wetlands map  Analyze coastal surveys to determine erosion rates  Provide access to data from Met stations  Phased software development iterative process periodic opportunities for stakeholder feedback a focus on tool development and refinement  Advisory Council meetings
