The Arctic National Mapping AgenciesThe Arctic National Mapping Agencies- NMAs -- NMAs -

The project involves NMAs in the Nordic countries, Russia, USA and Canada

Many definitions of the Arctic Area

The Arctic SDI is to cover the Arctic regions of the involved participating countries, as defined by the countries themselves.

The Arctic SDIThe Arctic SDI- the vision -- the vision -

An Arctic SDI – based on sustainable co-operation between mandated national mapping organisations – which will provide for access to spatially related reliable information over the Arctic to facilitate monitoring and decision making

THE ARCTIC SDITHE ARCTIC SDI- will give… -- will give… -

…access to relevant and updated geographic and thematic information covering the entire circumpolar region

…possibilities for authorities and decision makers to have access to relevant and updated information

…possibilities for daily use of the project's web map services in schools and universities in the Arctic and elsewhere.

…possibilities for media to receive relevant and updated information

…possibilities to foster cooperation with industry on Arctic issues


Arctic SDI


WhyWhy ArcticArctic SDISDI ??Wide array of spatial data

around the ArcticDatasets are distributed

throughout many organisations often not integrated or coordinated

Arctic SDI would allow for more robust management and manipulation of data for both research and management purposes.

FinallyFinally

Input from the user community is of utmost importance for a successful result

With an increasing focus on the Arctic, good reference map data is invaluable

Sustainable NMAs produces the best reference data available.
