Databases Available
All field data collected by the project are publicly available.
Generally the previous summer's observations are published by January.
You are strongly encouraged to contact the collector and collaborate on any analysis.
Also note that much of the data archived is a continuation of data streams collected annually over many years, therefore it is important to look for the most recent version of the data, often times errors are identified and fixed in a subsequent year.
You can do a search by Primary Investigator.

Major Data Contributor to ITEX
The ITEX-AON is a major contributor to databases compiled by the International Tundra Experiment to synthesis the response across many sites. The ITEX-AON has been deeply involved in every major synthesis effort conducted by the ITEX Network.
Generally researchers seeking data use the ITEX datasets because they have been standardized to allow for comparisons from across the tundra biome.
Subsequently, the ITEX datasets are often contributors to other global synthesis.
How are the data being used
The list of publications can be used to see the main synthesis efforts that the project has contributed toward.
However, we do not always know who or how the data are being used.
