| Summary: | A portal for sharing data, reports and other products from the Navigating the New Arctic project: Landscape evolution and adapting to change in ice-rich permafrost systems (NSF Award 1928237). This 2019-2024 study is focused at Prudhoe Bay and the Native Village of Point Lay, Alaska, where permafrost temperatures are changing rapidly and there are large impacts to natural ecosystems, infrastructure and local communities. Both areas contain excellent examples of ice-rich permafrost-related problems relevant to many other areas of Alaska and circumpolar Arctic. Study areas: vegetation, permafrost dynamics, hydrology, remote sensing, housing foundations, roads, village infrastructure.
