This medium resolution (i.e. 30-m pixels) spatial dataset provides an estimate of the occurrence of near-surface (within 1 m of the ground surface) permafrost in Alaska. The dataset was developed using a decision-tree model that statistically and spatially extended late-season field observations (n...
