Cryostratigraphy and ground-ice content of the upper permafrost in drained-lake basins, northern Alaska, April-May 2019
This dataset contains information on cryostratigraphy and ground-ice content of the upper permafrost , which was based on the results of field work in the Utqiagvik (former Barrow, Western Coastal Plain [CPW]), Teshekpuk Lake (Central Coastal Plain [CPC]), Inigok (Sand Sea [SS] and Loess Belt [LB]),...
