The Circumpolar Arctic Vegetation Map (CAVM) project is an international effort to map the vegetation and associated characteristics of the circumpolar region, using a common base map. The base map is a false color infrared image created from Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) satellite data. Get a more detailed overview at About the CAVM.

See the Toolik-Arctic Geobotanical Atlas for more information about CAVM map themes, map data, and images.
