The Barrow Area Information Database - Internet Map Server (BAID-IMS) is a prototype project that has been developed under the emerging Spatial Data Infrastructure (SDI) activities coordinated by the Digital Working Group (DWG) of the Barrow Arctic Science Consortium (BASC). As well as remote sensing products, topographic maps and current research information, BAID-IMS contains information about historical research conducted in the Barrow area in northern Alaska dating back to the 1940’s. This information is used freely and interactively by researchers, land managers, educators and the local community to access spatial data and information on terrestrial, marine, freshwater and atmospheric research in the Barrow area. The Barrow area in this application is defined as the region encompassed between the North Slope village of Barrow in the North to Teshekpuk Lake in the East to the villages of Atqasuk in the South and Wainwright in the West.

All information in this application is accompanied by metadata that meets the standards of the Federal Geographic Data Committee (FGDC) and it is hoped that data will be available for downloading at The Arctic System Science (ARCSS) Data Coordination Center (ADCC) at the National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC) located at University of Colorado in Boulder, USA. BAID-IMS was developed by the Arctic Ecology Laboratory at Michigan State University and Nuna Technologies under contract to BASC who is supported by the Office of Polar Programs (OPP) at the National Science Foundation (NSF).
