Ice roads through lake-rich Arctic watersheds : Integrating climate uncertainty and freshwater habitat responses into adaptive management

Vast mosaics of lakes, wetlands, and rivers on the Arctic Coastal Plain give the impression of water surplus. Yet long winters lock freshwater resources in ice, limiting freshwater habitats and water supply for human uses. Increasingly the petroleum industry relies on lakes to build temporary ice ro...
