Climate warming is expected to have considerable impact on the regional water balance of high latitude Arctic and sub-Arctic glacerized watersheds. In this study we combine...

In the cold waters of Alaska’s Arctic swims a mysterious fish with large, silvery scales and a strong tapered body. With its mouth turned down slightly, the fish is adapted to...

The goals of the second volume of the (AHDR-II) Arctic Human Development Report: Regional Processes and Global Linkages – are to provide an update to the first AHDR (2004) in...

The goal of this study was to use watershed characteristics derived from LIDAR data to predict stream biogeochemistry in Pacific coastal temperate rainforest (PCTR) watersheds....

Dynamic vegetation models (DVMs) have been developed to model the ecophysiological characteristics of plant functional types in terrestrial ecosystems. They have frequently been...

Top melting of ice-wedges and subsequent ground subsidence is now a widespread phenomenon across the Arctic domain. We show field and remote sensing observations that document...

Glaciers of Alaska and Northwestern Canada are losing mass at one of the highest rates of any mountain glacier system globally. High-precision measurements from the Gravity...

Landscape ecology is a discipline that explicitly considers the influence of time and space on the environmental patterns we observe and the processes that create them. Although...

Increasing temperatures are projected to have a positive effect on the length of Alaska’s summer tourism season, but the natural attractions that tourism relies on, such as...

Increasing temperatures are projected to have a positive effect on the length of Alaska's tourism season, but the natural attractions that tourism relies on, such as glaciers,...

In this research a time series of Landsat imagery was processed to retrieve surface reflectance, surface temperature, surface emissivity and a vegetation index (NDVI) from 1984...

In May of 2016 we issued a web-based GIS choice experiment that included questions to decipher angler preferences of species fished with harvest limits, user fees, distance...

Increasing temperatures are projected to have a positive effect on the length of Alaska's summer tourism season, but the natural attractions that tourism relies on, such as...

We synthesized an expert review of climate change implications for hydroecological and terrestrial ecological systems in the northern coastal temperate rainforest of North...

Within the Yukon Flats, Alaska, subsistence communities utilize moose (Alces alces) as a primary resource (78% of households) and wolves (Canis lupus) hunt them as an obligatory...

To approach human-environment dynamics and relationships, it is necessary to combine human and environmental data. Considering the movement towards interdisciplinary and...

Northern latitudes are known to be the most vulnerable regions already witnessing the impacts of climate change. These impacts have not only affected a broad spectrum of...

The Bering Strait region of Alaska is a culturally, economically, biologically, and politically important area of the Arctic. Like the rest of the arctic, this area is...

The sustainability of salmon within this ever-changing climate is a question posed by many whose lives focus on this natural resource and its future. South Central Alaska is no...

The goal of this work was to characterize the spatial distribution of black carbon (BC) concentrations along various locations and elevations on the Juneau Icefield at two...
