Technical paper: Design and Development of a Greenland Ice and Metocean Geoportal (ATC 2015)
A web-based marine geoportal from which your ice, meteorological, oceanographic, and seabed data can be integrated and accessed.
The geoportal is a collaborative tool that allows multiple users to interact with the system.

Web based marine geo-portal data can include:
- sea ice
- icebergs
- oceanography: currents, waves, water quality, etc
- meteorology: winds, air temperature, humidity, visibility, etc
- seabed: bathymetry, ice scouring, sediment
