The Polar Geospatial Center (PGC) at the University of Minnesota is a polar science and logistics support organization. Funded by the National Science Foundation, it provides geospatial support, mapping, and GIS/remote sensing solutions to researchers and logistics groups in the Arctic and Antarctic. PGC's services include providing access to satellite imagery, creating high-resolution digital elevation models, and offering expertise in geospatial problem-solving for polar regions. They work with federally funded researchers in the Arctic and Antarctic, utilizing geospatial and remote sensing technology to support research teams and address challenges in the least mapped places on Earth.
