Arctic Geospatial Data for Cold Region Transportation Infrastructure Analysis: Ground Penetrating Radar Gathered along the Steese Highway, Alaska, 2023

Road subsurface data were collected using a GPR sensor mounted on a cart for several sections of the Steese Highway as part of a continued efforts to provide more geospatial data in Arctic regions relevant to cold region research. The Steese Highway, located in Alaska, is a majorroadway that traverses through the state's interior, providing a vital transportation link within this remote and rugged region. Stretching approximately 261 kilometers, the highway begins in Fairbanks, one of Alaska's largest cities, and extends northward, ultimately connecting with the town of Circle near the Yukon River. The survey was conducted in the summer of 2023. The corresponding GPR data offers geospatial resources for extreme cold weather infrastructure analysis and subsurface visualization.

本数据集针对阿拉斯加州斯蒂斯高速公路（Steese Highway）的多个路段，通过安装在手推车上的探地雷达（ground-penetrating radar，GPR）传感器采集道路地下数据，作为为北极地区提供更多与寒区研究相关的地理空间数据的持续工作的一部分。斯蒂斯高速公路位于阿拉斯加州内陆，是贯穿该区域的主要干线公路，为这片偏远崎岖之地提供了至关重要的交通纽带。该公路全长约261公里，始于阿拉斯加最大城市之一的费尔班克斯（Fairbanks），向北延伸，最终与育空河（Yukon River）附近的锡尔镇（Circle）相连。本次数据采集工作于2023年夏季开展。配套的探地雷达数据可为极寒地区基础设施分析与地下结构可视化提供地理空间资源支撑。
