Abstract
 Mapping NOAA's Marine Research in the Arctic Track: Ocean, Coastal, and Marine Resources Author(s): Tiffany Vance, Nazila Merati, Ronald Doel, Kristine Harper The Arctic holds a special allure for researchers and in the mind of the general public. The United States has a long history of research in the Arctic. For a project to document the history of NOAA's work in the region, we are gathering oral history interviews, archival materials and historical resources that will extend baselines for studying ecological and environmental changes in the Arctic back in time. As with all research, NOAA's work in the Arctic has both spatial and temporal components. The results of these interviews will be used to create a geodatabase of the spatial and temporal aspects of the research. From the materials gathered, we hope to be able to discern spatiotemporal patterns in areas where work was conducted. To make our results available for educating the public, we will be creating Web pages and visualizations of the spatial aspects of the research.
