Climate Driven Extent Changes in Perennial Snowfields in the Central Brooks Range, Gates of the Arctic National Park & Preserve, Alaska
Tedesche ME. Climate Driven Extent Changes in Perennial Snowfields in the Central Brooks Range, Gates of the Arctic National Park & Preserve, Alaska. Research Permit and Reporting System
Warming of the Arctic is driving significant physical and ecological changes, including losses in extent of perennial snowfields in Gates of the Arctic National Park and Preserve in Alaska. These snowfields are sensitive indicators of climate change and an important eco-hydrological resource. This research quantifies how perennial snowfields are changing and addresses impacts to caribou and subsistence. Quantifying snowfield extents is done through remote sensing techniques and field surveys.
