Abstract

Quantarctica (https://www.npolar.no/quantarctica) is a geospatial data package, analysis environment, and visualization platform for the Antarctic Continent, Southern Ocean (>40oS), and sub-Antarctic islands. Quantarctica works with the free, cross-platform Geographical Information System (GIS) software QGIS and can run without an Internet connection, making it a viable tool for fieldwork in remote areas. The data package includes basemaps, satellite imagery, terrain models, and scientific data in nine disciplines, including physical and biological sciences, environmental management, and social science. To provide a clear and responsive user experience, cartography and rendering settings are carefully prepared using colour sets that work well for typical data combinations and with consideration of users with common colour vision deficiencies. Metadata included in each dataset provides brief abstracts for non-specialists and references to the original data sources. Thus, Quantarctica provides an integrated environment to view and analyse multiple Antarctic datasets together conveniently and with a low entry barrier.

Abstract

“Quantarctica” is a geospatial data package built on the free, open-source, cross-platform QGIS software. It includes a wide range of cartographic basemap layers, scientific datasets, and satellite imagery. It features the capability to entirely operating offline. Quantarctica was first released in 2013, becoming an official SCAR product in 2014. Now, the completely updated and enhanced version 3 of Quantarctica will be released in early 2018. For this, the Quantarctica Editorial Board selected peer-reviewed datasets for a wide range of Antarctic users, adding over 150 new basemap and scientific data layers and widening the thematic coverage from Glaciology and Geophysics to other themes such as Atmospheric Science, Biology, Oceanography, Social Sciences, and more. We also expanded the project's extent and data coverage to 40°S, including sub-Antarctic islands. The contributions will briefly revisit the development process and accomplishments of the Quantarctica project, before showcasing Quantarctica 3's expanded and deepened data coverage, new features, and practical applications in Antarctic research, logistics, education, and outreach. We also present our ongoing efforts and experiences with the Antarctic science community, including workshops, data solicitation and open data sharing. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
