  1. Approaches to Antarctic Data Management - Finland Arto Vitikka Arctic Centre University of Lapland arto.vitikka@ulapland.fi www.arcticcentre.org

  2. Approaches to Antarctic Data Management - Finland Antarctic research in Finland • The authority responsible for Finnish Antarctic research is the Ministry of Education. • The Academy of Finland is mainly responsible for the financing of Antarctic research projects. • Universitites, Geological Survey, Meteorological Institute, Geodetic Institute

  3. Finnish Antarctic Expeditions • Research station Aboa was founded in 1988 • Finland has co-operated in Antarctic research with other countries, especially with Sweden and Norway. Nordic co-operation has been implemented particularly in transportation arrangements. • Logistics and the maintenance of the Aboa station are taken care by Finnarp department at the Finnish Meteorological Institute.

  4. Data Management • Not one data centre for Antarctic data • Researchers sign an agreement with FINNARP • Metadata must be submited to AMD • Requirements on the data archieving and availability • Agreement in line with the Antarctic Treaty

  5. Data Management /2 • Data is NOT available online! • The data is stored in in-house databases to which access from outside is not allowed. • This is mainly data safety reasons. • Data can be acquired from the contact persons for the data and then the data is delivered.

  6. Arctic vs. Antarctic Data • No difference in data archiving, using the same archive infrastructure • No major international arctic metadata system • IPY improves the situation - the data management policy and recommendations are now more familiar to scientists.
