We use imagery from the MODIS Aqua and Terra satellites to monitor lake ice dynamics across the national parks and wildlife refuges in southwest Alaska. The lakes studied on the Kenai Peninsula include two of the largest lakes on the peninsula, Skilak and Tustumena Lakes, and a cluster of small lakes near the Swanson River/Swanson Lakes area, referred to as the northern Kenai lakes.
