A Distributed Data Management System to Support Arctic Geology and Geophysics: A Resource for Extended EEZ Claims
2005 American Geophysical Union Fall Meeting
Poster T13D-0497 - Continental Margins: Geodynamic Constraints and Implications for the Legal Continental Shelf Under UNCLOS
We are currently developing an online data archive that combines a data repository with a web-based archive-linking infrastructure to produce a distributed Data Management System (DMS) named the Arctic Archive for Geophysical Research: Unlocking Undersea Knowledge (AAGRUUK). This DMS promotes the ability to locate specific types of data as well as diverse types of data for specific locations. It provides access to derived products plus processed and, where feasible, raw data. AAGRUUK also provides the ability to integrate diverse types of data from distributed databases and archives, access to metadata, standardized approaches for incorporating newly acquired data, and contact and reference information for datasets in the archive. The AAGRUUK datasets are already yielding valuable new insights into the formation and evolution of the Arctic Basin, and they should serve as a useful resource for responding to the criteria detailed in Article 76 and the Scientific and Technical Guidelines published by CLCS in 1999. Examples of the integrated geophysical datasets for margins and ridges in the Arctic Ocean will be presented in addition to detailed information about accessing and contributing to AAGRUUK.
