In the publication "Toward a Permafrost Vulnerability Index for Critical Infrastructure, Community Resilience and National Security", researchers report on a new tool they created to assess the vulnerability of communities in Alaska to permafrost melt. By combining existing research and indices that look at infrastructure and permafrost conditions, they calculated an estimated "permafrost vulnerability surface" across Alaska. We would like to display this surface on the PDG portal.

Data type: From reading the publication text, I'm assuming this will be raster data
Data: The researchers say that source data is available in publicly accessible repositories, but there's no obvious indication of where to find the raster surface they created. @akliljedahl is emailing Alyssa to request this data.
