Summary

This release contains geophysical data from the Kuparuk aufeis associated with the manuscript "Seasonal thaw dynamics of an aufeis feature inferred from surface geophysical methods." Data were collected in two campaigns in September 2016 and April 2017 with the purpose of investigating freeze-thaw dynamics below the aufeis feature during maximally frozen and maximally thawed conditions. Ground penetrating radar common offset data from both campaigns (160MHz and 80MHz) is presented, including interpreted depths to interfaces (permafrost, ice-frozen ground interface, and talik surface). Surface nuclear magnetic resonance data and inverse results are also included from April 2017 as well as interpreted talik thicknesses. Temperature data [...]

Purpose

Data were obtained to understanding freeze-thaw dynamics below the Kuparuk aufeis in the North Slope, AK, with particular focus on understanding the extent and nature of perennial thaw zones (talik). These zones may provide habitat for organisms that would be unable to survive at these latitudes otherwise.
