Description
Summary:The moss monitoring technique for tracking environmental concentrations of atmospheric contaminants is applied to arctic Alaska. his research examines the distribution, chronology, and ecological effects of airborne contaminants in the U.S. Arctic. ajor goal is to assist in the construction of a circumpolar perspective on arctic contamination by establishing a U.S. database that can be directly compared with similar data from other arctic regions.
