| Summary: | Climate change is accelerating glacial melt in Gulf of Alaska watersheds and concomitant changes in runoff will affect coastal and estuarine habitat dynamics. This dataset consists of water quality measurements in Southeast and Southcentral Alaskan estuaries. Southeast Alaska sites were located in Gastineau Channel and Lynn Canal, near Juneau, and Southcentral Alaska sites were in Kachemak Bay, near Homer. Watersheds adjacent to estuary sites varied in their degree of glacierization (i.e., contemporary ice cover), ranging from 0% to 60% glacier cover. Estuary sites were sampled between April and October in 2019–2022. These data include sensor measurements of temperature, conductivity, salinity, dissolved oxygen, irradiance, and pressure (depth) recorded at 15-minute intervals by in situ sensor arrays. They also include point data taken on sampling days of temperature, salinity, conductivity, and turbidity. These data were collected as part of the Alaska EPSCoR Phase 5 “Fire and Ice” Program by the EPSCoR ... |
