Permafrost characterization using ground-based geophysics
Ground-based geophysical techniques are utilized to delineate subsurface features of hydrogeologic interest including permafrost, seasonally-frozen ground, and geologic strata.... -
Understanding the impacts of thermokarst lakes on permafrost stability, C cycling and greenhouse gas emissions
This research integrates field studies in a range of disciplines (geomorphology, geophysics, paleoecology, hydrology, limnology) with process modeling of permafrost thaw, lake... -
Hydrologic modeling of permafrost-impacted systems
This project develops and utilizes hydrologic models to better understand the interaction between permafrost and water flow in northern environments. Permafrost, perennially... -
Near Surface Permafrost Dynamics as an Essential Climate Variable
Permafrost was recently listed as a terrestrial Essential Climate Variable and several potential mechanisms of change can be quantified with remote sensing time series. We plan... -
Ecology, Soil Carbon, and Permafrost Experiments (ECOSCAPE)
This experiment is structured to understand fundamental biogeochemical feedbacks from permafrost thaw, and address the needs of the Integrated Ecosystem Model (IEM) project... -
Mapping Permafrost and Gas Hydrate using Marine Controlled Source Electromagnetic Methods (CSEM)
The objective of this project is to develop and test a towed electromagnetic source and receiver system suitable for deployment from small coastal vessels to map near-surface...
