ArcticGRO is dedicated to both the preservation of data and the maintenance of our physical archive. During each sampling event, we collect two additional bottles of river samples, which are stored in a freezer at the Woodwell Climate Research Center at -23°C.

Data

ArcticGRO data are free to use by anyone for any purpose.  We only ask that you credit ArcticGRO so that we can track data use. Citation formats are suggested below. Metadata are available in a single comprehensive document.

Data are frequently updated. Each time a dataset is updated, the previous version is archived and the new version is given a new Version code. The Version code is based on date, formatted as YYYYMMDD.

To ensure the accessibility and discoverability of the samples that ArcticGRO collects, we have started assigning IGSN Global Sample Numbers through the System for Earth and Extraterrestrial Sample Registration (SESAR²). ArcticGRO collection can be found here.
