Description
Summary:This dataset contains water quality measurements at Alaskan beaver ponds collected during the summer as part of the Arctic Beaver Observation Network. The Arctic Beaver Observation Network is a 5-year project (2021-2026) funded by the National Science Foundation. The natural science part of the project uses remote sensing to observe the progress and impacts of beaver engineering in the Arctic, starting in Alaska and extending into Canada and Eurasia. The project also establishes field sites at tundra beaver ponds to study the implications of beaver engineering on hydrology and permafrost, as well as pond evolution documented using Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS). Remote sensing work will map beaver ponds over time. Field measurements at tundra beaver ponds are made in August and late March. Data generated by field measurements include water level and temperature from pressure-transducers, subsurface imaging from ground-penetrating radar, sonar measurements for beaver pond bathymetry, tabular data associated ...
