European Polar Infrastructure Database

The European Polar Infrastructure Database was compiled by the European Polar Board (EPB) in collaboration with EU-PolarNet, with data provided by the Council of Managers of National Antarctic Programs (COMNAP), the International Network for Terrestrial Research and Monitoring in the Arctic (INTERACT), EUROFLEETS2 and SIOS. Work on the database was led by Yves Frenot (Institut Polaire Francais Paul Emile Victor (IPEV)) and Gonçalo Vieira (University of Lisbon (IGOT-UL)) as co-leads of task 3.1 of EU-PolarNet. Other contributors to the development of the database were Luis Encalada (IGOT-UL), Carla Mora (IGOT-UL), Joseph E Nolan (EPB), and Renuka Badhe (EPB). The online database portal and management system was developed by Blue Lobster.
