Thaw depth and water table in the footprint of five eddy covariance tower sites, Alaskan Arctic, 2013-2017
The research project will investigate year-around CH4 (methane) and CO2 (carbon dioxide) fluxes at three Alaskan Arctic sites (Barrow, Aquasuk, and Ivotuk) across a latitudinal gradient of about 300 kilometers from the northern part of the Arctic Coastal Plain to the foothills of the Brooks Range, i...
