The USGS Educational Resources Index for IPY let's you explore a variety of USGS resources on polar research, from maps and fact sheets to photographs and databases. Designed for researchers, students, teachers, and others interested in research and findings related to polar science, this index contains more than 65 different resources.

To make finding information you're interested in easier, these resources are divided into eight categories: Alaska and the Arctic, Antarctica, Climate Change, Glaciers and Ice, Photographs, Satellite Imagery, Wildlife, and Other USGS Resources.

Each entry is then broken down by three questions—What is it?, What Can I Do With It?, and What Does it Look Like?—to further help you get a grasp of the info without having to dig too deep.

This index is an excellent quick-reference tool for finding and using valuable USGS polar science data. More entries are to come, so keep checking back to see what’s new.
