πŸ“’Big news: PGC has secured 5 more years of funding from NSF-OPP!

Remote sensing, mapping, and geospatial support continues for the polar research community.
Some services remain paused as we rebuild capacity.

πŸŽ‰Cheers to keeping the poles on the map and in focus!

Thanks, Laurie. We're working hard with NSF to be able to resume supporting researchers, but unfortunately we have no choice but to suspend for the time being. We appreciate your support!

PGC received a distinguished visitor to the office today, the University of Minnesota’s vice president for research and innovation, Dr. Shashank Priya. It is always exciting to share our impact and passions with stakeholders as respected, genuine and engaging as Dr. Priya.
