The USGS Alaska Region has the largest geographic extent of the seven regional units within the USGS and represents a dynamic landscape of great natural wonder. It is a transforming landscape shaped by volcanoes, earthquakes, major rivers, and glaciers and a strategic landscape of yet untapped mineral and energy resources. The Region conducts research to help inform management of the extensive national parks and wildlife refuges of the far north and the international birds, fish, and marine mammals that migrate to these lands and waters; informs national Arctic energy policy through research on the National Petroleum Reserve-Alaska and the U.S. Outer Continental Shelf; and provides science to understand, help respond to and mitigate impacts from natural hazards. This work is accomplished in part by the Region's two Science Centers headquartered in Anchorage, the Alaska Science Center and the Volcano Science Center.
The Geoscience Data Exchange (GDEX) mission is to provide public access to data and other digital research assets related to the Earth and its atmosphere, oceans, and space environment. GDEX fulfills federal and scientific publication requirements for open data access by: Providing long-term curation and stewardship of research assets; Enabling scientific transparency and traceability of research findings in digital formats; Complementing existing NCAR community data management and archiving capabilities; Facilitating openness and accessibility for the public to leverage the research assets and thereby benefit from NCAR's historical and ongoing scientific research. This mission intentionally supports and aligns with those of NCAR and its sponsor, the National Science Foundation (NSF).
