Applications of permafrost temperature measurements for documenting long-term chances
in permafrost regime
Principal Investigator:

Institution:
University of Alaska Fairbanks
Project Starting Date:
September 2004
Abstract:
Data from Healy bore-holes near Denali National Park will be gathered
and analyzed to develop a protocol for use in the NPS monitoring program. The protocol
development will be inclusive of Wrangell - St. Elias National Park and Yukon - Charley
National Preserve. The final report will illustrate types of information that can be
obtained from the data, and the use of these data for prediction and anticipation of the
impacts of thawing permafrost on ecosystems in the three park units of the Central
Alaska Network.
