We relate the (anisotropic) variable coefficient local and nonlocal Calderón problems by means of the Caffarelli-Silvestre extension. In particular, we prove that (partial) Dirichlet-to-Neumann data for the fractional Calderón problem in three and higher dimensions determine the (full) Dirichlet-to-Neumann data for the local Calderón problem. As a consequence, any (variable coefficient) uniqueness result for the local problem also implies a uniqueness result for the nonlocal problem. Moreover, our approach is constructive and associated Tikhonov regularization schemes can be used to recover the data. Finally, we highlight obstructions for reversing this procedure, which essentially consist of two one-dimensional averaging processes.
