ARMAP is funded by the National Science Foundation Office of Polar Programs Arctic Sciences Division and is a collaborative development effort between the  Systems Ecology Lab at the University of Texas at El Paso, Nuna Technologies, the INSTAAR QGIS Laboratory, and CH2M HILL Polar Services.

Many thanks to the following contributors:

• Geographic Information Network of Alaska (GINA) and Alaska Mapped for providing circumpolar imagery services
• UTEP Cyber-ShARE Center of Excellence for collaboration on cyberinfrastructure activities
• Redlands Institute for support in building the Arctic spatial database.
• National Snow and Ice Data Center for sea ice extents and permafrost data.
• NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory, for the Blue Marble earth imagery and land cover imagery.
• ESRI for global data sets provided on the ArcGIS 9 Media Kit: ESRI Data and Maps.
• The Canadian IPY Interactive Mapping Server development team for providing the Arctic research stations data layer.
• Raed Aldouri, Director of Geospatial Center, University of Texas at El Paso for server support.

Student Participation

ARMAP is a real-world test bed for a range of student-driven cyberinfrastructure activities ranging from application design and programming to systems architecture. ARMAP also benefits from the NSF-funded Cyber-ShARE program at UTEP through student rotations. Students that have worked on ARMAP have successfully found employment in government agencies, the private sector and academia. Students that have contributed to ARMAP include: G. Walker Johnson (MS, Biology), Gesuri Ramirez (MS, Computer Science), Jerald Brady (MS, Environmental Science), Juan C. Gonzalez (MS, Computer Science), Tomas Kianicka (MS, Computer Science), Kathy Fernald (PhD, Biology), Joaquin A. Aguilar (undergraduate, Computer Science), Jiri Mensik (MS, Computer Science), Karla Martinez (undergraduate, Biology), Chris Ramirez (MS, Computer Science), Juan Carlos Franco, Ryan Cody, Juan Carlos Rubio (PhD, Computer Science), and Raed Aldouri (PhD, Geology).
