Abstract
This project focuses on the development and deployment of a real-time web-based COVID-19 data hub managed by an interdisciplinary team of experts in data science, geoinformatics, epidemiology, and geography. The team has collected, analyzed, and keeps disseminating data on the spatial and temporal dynamics of the COVID-19 pandemic in the Arctic. The datasets and analyses of spatiotemporal trends at the subregional level were made available to stakeholders including Arctic residents, researchers, and policymakers. Pandemic data was contextualized through the collection of first-person accounts of the COVID-19 experience in Arctic communities. The team has also developed geovisualization tools and analyzed datasets to address urgent questions related to the spread and geography of COVID-19 in the Arctic, assessing containment and mitigation policies and evaluating whether case fatality rates are affected by environmental, socioeconomic, and/or geographic variables. Long-term curation of Arctic COVID-19 data and data products will ensure availability for future analysis, historical study, and policy consideration.
This talk will be focused on technical details of the implementation of the data collection and dissemination tools.
