Scientific paper
The Antarctic Meteorite Location and Mapping Project (AMLAMP) was developed to document and provide location data on meteorites recovered from Antarctica by the Antarctic Search for Meteorites project (ANSMET). Since 1976 approximately 6000 specimens have been recovered from numerous localities along the Transantarctic Mountains by ANSMET expeditions. The geographic locations of most of these specimens have been documented. The AMLAMP maintains databases of this information at the Lunar and Planetary Institute and produces meteorite location maps of significant meteorite standing sites. Recent computer hardware and software advances allow the AMLAMP data to be easily accessed and used in many different ways. The increasing use and availability of geographic information systems (GIS) has led us to begin development of a GIS application of the meteorite location data. GIS is ultimately the ideal environment for the AMLAMP data because meteorite locations are spatial data that have attributes (i.e., weight, classification, etc.). These data can then be analyzed in a spatial context. AMLAMP data have been ported to the ARC/INFO GIS platform and a demonstration application developed. This poster session is designed to exhibit the AMLAMP GIS application and other AMLAMP products and services, and provide users an opportunity to make suggestions and recommendations. The ARC/INFO GIS platform is made available through the Office of Polar Programs of the National Science Foundation .
