Abstract:
Permafrost regions are highly sensitive to climate
changes. To monitor key variables and to identify
environmentally relevant-processes is of topmost importance
in these environments. Beside data analysis
and map creation capabilities, Geographical Information
Systems (GIS) also comprise functionalities for
mobile data acquisition in the field, data transfer, data
monitoring, data description, as well as data sharing
and publication of data as WebGIS Services (Web
Map/Feature Services (WMS, WFS)). Due to their
excellent usability GIS technology and services are
very common in many scientific disciplines all over the
world, and since most data formats are standardized
data re-use and data interchangeability are guaranteed.
We visualize field-derived and remote sensing derived research data, collected within Russian and
German cooperation projects in the Lena River Delta,
Laptev Sea Region (Siberia) on a Web GIS Platform.
We visualize the locations of long-term discharge measurements
and of soil sampling for organic Carbon and
Nutrients. Geormorphological feature classes derived
from satellite data and publicly available environmental
data layers (e.g. vegetation, soils, and digital
elevation models) display the broader regional and
thematic context. AWI offers WebGIS services published
under http://maps.awi.de/awimaps/. The
WebGIS core components are ArcGIS for Server 10.3
and PostgreSQL databases 9.3 including Spatial Database
Engine (SDE).
