This dataset contains seven shapefiles of lake-rich regions in Arctic Alaska which detail late-winter lake ice regimes. Late-winter lake ice regimes are controlled by water depth relative to maximum ice thickness (MIT). When MIT exceeds maximum water depth, lakes freeze to the bottom with bedfast ic...
