Enter	Water, carbon and permafrost dynamics in boreal Alaska		This collection of hydrologic, biogeochemical, geophysical, soil, thermal, and physical data provides a framework for investigating the vulnerability of water and carbon cycles to changing permafrost conditions across boreal Alaska. Multidisciplinary data are needed to evaluate the effects of fire and climate on subsurface permafrost, soil physical, and hydrological conditions, which in turn are used to inform hydrological modeling of surface and subsurface water distribution, flow, and water availability in response to change. Vulnerability of the aquatic [...] Read more...		2017-12-05
