	Arctic Research Mapping Application (ARMAP) is a suite of online, interactive maps and services that support Arctic science. Learn more about research projects recently funded in your region of interest or scientific discipline Explore available data or possible collaborations Use the online mapping tools to meet your own projects specific goals. With 2D Maps and 3D Globes, users can navigate to areas of interest and explore information about field-based scientific research in the Arctic. Research sites are shown as points with links to details about project investigator, discipline, funding program, year, related websites, and other elements. ARMAP includes satellite imagery, other base maps, access to scientific datasets, and map layers for places, roads, natural features. Users can print or export maps for presentations, export selected data, select from a "map gallery" of predefined images, or link directly to a variety of database web services. ARMAP strives to benefit scientists, science logistics experts, educators and the general public. For more info, visit http://armap.org

	Mapping and Characterization of Recurring Spring Leads and Landfast ice in the Beaufort and Chukchi Seas The aim of this continuing study is to map and document the spatial and temporal distribution of recurring lead systems, coastal polynyas and landfast ice in the Beaufort and Chukchi Seas. The study region encompasses the entire northern coast of Alaska and parts of the Russian and Canadian coasts. This includes oil and gas leases sold in 2008 for which sea-ice information is lacking. The region and its sea ice cover are also of importance to protected marine mammals and birds. Dramatic reductions in Arctic summer sea ice extent since 2005 lend urgency to the need for improved knowledge and understanding of the physical sea ice environment in this region of the Arctic.

	Kachemak Heritage Land Trust KHLT utilizes GIS as a tool with the goal of preserving land on Alaska's Kenai Peninsula with natural, recreational, or cultural values. For more info, visit http://www.kachemaklandtrust.org

	Killer Whale GIS Database The North Gulf Ocean Society utilizes GIS to study the ecology of resident and transient whales. This includes documenting whale encounters, foraging locations, plus the analysis of movement and home range. To learn more, visit http://www.whalesalaska.org/
