Thaw depth and organic layer depth from Alaska borehole sites, 2015 (ViPER Project)

The objective of this project is to examine the impacts of vegetation and ecosystem properties on active layer and permafrost thermal dynamics in order to better understand the vulnerability of permafrost to climate change. Datasets associated with this project include soil, vegetation, and ground t...

Description
Summary:The objective of this project is to examine the impacts of vegetation and ecosystem properties on active layer and permafrost thermal dynamics in order to better understand the vulnerability of permafrost to climate change. Datasets associated with this project include soil, vegetation, and ground temperature data from permafrost borehole sites in Alaska and NE Siberia. This dataset includes thaw depth and organic layer depth from borehole sites in Alaska, measured in July-August 2015.
