Examination of the Hiawatha Crater and the Surrounding Area for Evaluating the Impact of Climate Change

The Hiawatha Crater is the site covered by the Hiawatha crater, the area that serves as the focus of this research. The Hiawatha glacier lies in Greenland, and is subject to similar effects of global warming that can be examined occurring with all other glaciers. Using GIS software, the Hiawatha glacier was examined to determine if it was being subjected to extreme effects of global warming.

The goal of CERSER is to develop and implement innovative and relevant education and research collaborations focused on ice sheet, coastal, ocean, and marine research.

Science Gateways Community Institute

https://sciencegateways.org
The Science Gateways Community Institute (SGCI) was established to provide resources, services, experts, and ideas for creating and sustaining science gateways. Science gateways are online interfaces that give researchers, educators, and students easy access to specialized, shared resources that are specific to a science or engineering discipline. For example, they may connect to or between instruments (such as telescopes or sensors), data collections, specialized software, or high-performance computing.

WHO WE ARE

The goal of CERSER is to develop and implement innovative and relevant education and research collaborations focused on ice sheet, coastal, ocean, and marine research. CERSER is also part of the Science Gateways Community Institute (SGCI) which provides coordinating activities across the National Science Foundation, eventually providing services more broadly to projects funded by other agencies. Sharing expertise about technologies and strategies would allow developers to concentrate on the novel, the challenging, and the cutting-edge development needed by their specific user communities.
