Thermal response of western Alaska lakes to past, present, and future changes in climate
Jones BM and Arp CD. Thermal response of western Alaska lakes to past, present, and future changes in climate. Research Permit and Reporting System
The temperature regime of surface waters and its phase (i.e. liquid or or ice) are fundamental attributes of lake ecosystems that directly control energy balance and exchange with the atmosphere, strongly influences biological productivity and phenology, and in permafrost environments additionally influence thaw bulb (talik) development, thermal erosion, and ultimately surface permafrost degradation. This project focused on the past, present, and future thermal regime of lakes in Western Alaska.
