Linking North Slope Climate, Hydrology, and Fish Migration
Sections of the Kuparuk are periodically intermittent in that, during low flows in the system, these channel reaches appear dry. The flow varies between surface and subsurface... -
Streamflow Monitoring on the Upper Kuparuk and Putuligayuk Rivers
Hydrologic data for the Alaska Arctic are sparse, and fewer still are long-term (> 10 year) datasets. This lack of baseline information hinders our ability to assess... -
Walrus Adaptability and Long-term Responses; Using multi-proxy data to project Sustainability
The Pacific walrus (Odobenus rosmarus divergens) is one of many species affected by recent environmental change in the Arctic. Much attention has focused on the loss of sea ice... -
IPY: Current Climate changes over Eastern Siberia and Interior Alaska and their Impact on Permafrost Landscapes, Ecosystem Dynamics, and Hydrological Regime
This project is establishing long-term permafrost monitoring sites adjacent to schools in the circumpolar permafrost region and providing Native Alaskan and Russian students... -
Development and testing of a low-cost satellite-tracked ice drifter for Arctic Alaska
While Arctic shelf seas are nominally ice-covered for ~9 months of the year, due to its mobility, sea ice is a year-round concern for maritime operations in the Alaskan Arctic,...
