CEON - Internet Map Server (Launch CEON-IMS)

The CEON - Internet Map Server (CEON-IMS) has been developed to enable and enhance the visualization and search-ability of a geo-database comprised of observational platforms and information sources compatible with CEON's mission. CEON-IMS includes over 175 layers of remote sensing products, maps, and information on historical and current research efforts - all of which are associated with envrionmental observations in the Arctic. This information can be used freely by researchers, land managers, educators, policy makers and local communities to access spatial data and information on primarily terrestrial and freshwater research in the Arctic. The information in this application is linked to online references and other information sources hosted by data providers.

Users of CEON-IMS can interactively view over 120 thematic map and satellite image layers, query a range of spatially explicit research and site data including sites affiliated with multiple international or national networks or programs. Features of CEON-IMS are highlighted immediately above. The application uses an intuitive and standardized toolbar icons to initiate a range of user-driven interactions with mapped data and georeferenced attributive data. Basic GIS functions are embedded into the web interface and include the ability to select and buffer features (points, lines, polygons), measure distance, change units (feet, meters, miles, and kilometers), identify features, change scale (by zooming in or zooming out) and create printable maps and jpegs. In addition, users can obtain coordinates and search attribute data based on a number of fields (column headings). Output from queries can be easily cut and paste into other software packages such as Microsoft Excel for further manipulation or sorting by the user if necessary. This application works best using Microsoft Explorer or Firefox.

CEON-IMS has been developed by the Systems Ecology Laboratory (SEL) at the University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP) and Nuna Technologies under several proposals sponsored by the Office of Polar Programs (OPP) at the US National Science Foundation (NSF). We welcome ideas for improving and expanding CEON-IMS to meet the devloping needs of our user community.

Browser Compatability:
This application works best in OS X with Opera or Safari and in Windows IE. Both Win and Mac versions of Netscape Navigator, are known to have difficulties and we advise against their use for accessing CEON-IMS.
