Saline permafrost degradation below a shallow thermokarst lake in northern Alaska, 2008-2023
This dataset supports the findings of the research paper submitted to the journal Geophysical Research Letters that documents the rapid thaw of saline permafrost below a shallow thermokarst lake near Utqiagvik, Alaska. The lake, East Twin Lake, is located in the Barrow Environmental Observatory. We...

This dataset supports the findings of the research paper submitted to the journal Geophysical Research Letters that documents the rapid thaw of saline permafrost below a shallow thermokarst lake near Utqiagvik, Alaska. The lake, East Twin Lake, is located in the Barrow Environmental Observatory. We conducted repeat drilling-based surveys at East Twin Lake in the Barrow Environmental Observatory near Utqiagvik, Alaska between 2008 and 2023. These field data were integrated with transient electromagnetic (TEM) near-surface geophysics soundings in 2016 and 2022 and analysis of a time-series of wintertime Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) satellite imagery from 2015 to 2023 to assess changes in lake and sub-lake properties. Finally, we assessed the impact of thawing saline permafrost on shore erosion by quantifying a regime shift in the lateral expansion rate of East Twin Lake between 1948 and 2022. The datasets consist of a CSV file with the point measurements from the drilling campaign, processed TEM data along with the script, a table of SAR backscatter values extracted for three lakes, and a table with lake expansion rates for East Twin Lake. |
