Remote sensing and field‐based mapping of permafrost distribution along the Alaska Highway corridor, interior Alaska
We employed an integrated approach that combined remote sensing techniques with field measurements to predict the presence/absence of near‐surface permafrost in a section of the Alaska Highway corridor. We investigated the correlative relationships among vegetation type, topography, moss thickness,...

| Summary: | We employed an integrated approach that combined remote sensing techniques with field measurements to predict the presence/absence of near‐surface permafrost in a section of the Alaska Highway corridor. We investigated the correlative relationships among vegetation type, topography, moss thickness, tussock condition and near‐surface permafrost in the study area. Analysis of moss thickness and active‐layer depth in low‐lying plains (slope |
