Patchwork Barents

以下EAGER支持一个创新项目，以创造更多的公众访问数据和数据可视化工具，以更充分地参与公众讨论有关北极的科学信息。PI令人信服地认为，随着全球环境变化，海冰和冰盖融化增加，对自然资源开发，旅游，北极航运，人类移民等的兴趣增加，北极地区在关键的公共话语中的重要性越来越大。研究人员认为，这种话语需要容易获得，高度准确的数据，以公众会发现有用的形式。该项目是杰斐逊研究所长期使用的Patchwork Nation数据可视化工具在北极的一个关键地区，北方的巴伦支地区和俄罗斯的一个试点应用。为了构建Patchwork Barents，研究人员将组装一个巴伦支数据门户，汇集公共数据，并建立在现有的Patchwork Nation数据可视化引擎的基础上。 通过这种方式，研究团队将生成一个可嵌入的巴伦支数据地图，并配备用于上传新数据集和创建可视化数据显示的工具。 此外，这些将与代表性的巴伦支社区的每周报告以及Patchwork Nation主页http://www.patchworknation.org/上的两个泛北极分析帖子相匹配。 研究小组将利用北极社会指标报告，并利用现有的努力，汇编北极数据在县当量（NUTS 3？欧盟使用的地区？欧盟统计局机构）一级，包括共同体气候变化调查、气候变化研究、AON-SI和H3 l（人类、水文和高纬度NCAR数据集）项目。 除此之外，还将从其他可用的物理和社会科学来源获得数据。 该项目是一项独特的努力，旨在将流行的数据可视化和以社区为中心的数据的新兴工具与北极地区的公共科学数据相匹配。 最终，目标是赋予公民以工具，使他们能够更多地了解和分享自己的社区，并将他们的社区置于全国和跨界直观相似和不同的地方。 该项目实现了NSF的部分使命，使科学数据更容易获得和更广泛的公众受众有用。

The following EAGER supports an innovative project to create greater public access to data and data visualization tools in order to more fully engage scientific information about the Arctic in public discourse. The PI convincingly argues that with global environmental change, increasing sea ice and ice sheet melting, increased interest in natural resource development, tourism, arctic shipping, human migration, etc. the Arctic region is increasing in importance within critical public discourse. The researcher contends that this discourse needs easily accessible, highly accurate data in a form that the public will find useful. This project is a pilot application of the Jefferson Institutes long standing Patchwork Nation data visualization tools to a critical region of the Arctic, the Barent region of Northern Europe and Russia.In order to construct Patchwork Barents, the researchers will assemble a Barents data portal pooling public data and building on the existing data visualization engines built for Patchwork Nation. In this way, the research team will generate an embeddable Barents data map, equipped with tools for uploading new datasets and creating visual data displays. In addition, these will be matched with weekly reporting from representative Barents communities and two pan-Arctic analytical posts on the Patchwork Nation main page http://www.patchworknation.org/. The research team will utilize the Arctic Social Indicators report and leverage existing efforts to compile Arctic data at the county-equivalent (NUTS3 ? regions used by the EU?s Eurostat agency) level, including the Community Climate Change Survey, SEARCH, AON-SI, and H3l (Humans, Hydrology, and High Latitude NCAR data set) projects. Added to this will be physical and social science data from other publically available sources. The project is a unique effort to match emerging tools for popular data visualization and community-centered data with public county-equivalent scientific data on the Arctic. Ultimately, the aim is to empower citizens with the tools to learn and share more about their own community and to place their community into the context of intuitively similar and dissimilar places nationally and across borders. This project fulfills a part of the NSF's mission to make science data more accessible and useful to broader public audiences.
