Data can be downloaded as Shapefiles or KML for GIS applications, and CSV for tables and spreadsheets. Additionally, by using the API link, data from this site can be embedded in other applications with the feature service link or GeoJson. NGA joined the National Science Foundation (NSF) to partner with the University of Minnesota and other members of the academic research community, private sector and international partners. Together, these partners are working to create the first ever publically available, high resolution, satellite-based elevation map of Alaska by mid-2016 and the entire Arctic by mid-2017. These initiatives by NGA support the US Chair of the Arctic Council and the President’s Executive Order on Enhancing Coordination of National Efforts in the Arctic
