Help shape the future of the UK Polar Data Centre

Dear Colleagues,

Do you use data from the polar regions? Or would you like to in the future? Help shape the future of polar data services by completing our questionnaire.

The UK Polar Data Centre (UK PDC) is one of the EDS domain-specific centres. It is the focal point for Arctic and Antarctic environmental data management in the United Kingdom. Based at the British Antarctic Survey, the UKPDC coordinates the management and preservation of polar data from UK research, and supports researchers in complying with national and international data standards.

We are keen to ensure our data services evolve and improve to meet the needs of current and potential future users. To help achieve this, we have designed a brief questionnaire that asks for feedback on current services, and for ideas about new services that users would like to see. This should only take a few minutes to complete.

We are also setting up a User Forum to get more in-depth feedback on new services being developed. If you are interested in joining this forum, please include your email address at the end of the questionnaire.

Complete the questionnaire to help shape the future of the UKPDC.

The questionnaire closes 15 September 2026.

Please share with your colleagues!

Contact PDCServiceDesk@bas.ac.uk with any queries.

 

Best wishes,

Alice
