GAAR Kobuk River Basin Soils
2000. GAAR Kobuk River Basin Soils
As part of an interagency agreement between the National Park Service (NPS) and the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), basin characteristics are being determined for a number of watersheds in National Parks of Alaska. The purpose of this data set is to provide the NPS information about soils of the Kobuk River Basin to do basic spatial analysis. A GIS coverage of the soils of the Kobuk River Basin can be used to determine the type and amount of soil for a given watershed, to help understand the chemistry of water that drains a certain type of soil, or in explaining runoff characteristics for a specific stream. More knowledge and understanding of the Kobuk River Basin will help the NPS in making sound management decisions.
