It is not easy to tell you how many we are - I have not even tried to count. Since more than three years we work on this project and it will take even longer to work on all the data and samples we will bring back to our labs and offices and to our partners all over the world.

A new study, led by a number of Nunataryuk researchers, shows that optical and radar remote sensing can be used to map ice frozen to the riverbed (bedfast ice) vs. ice, resting on top of the unfrozen water layer (floating or so-called serpentine ice) within the Arctic’s largest delta, the Lena River Delta.

The new paper by Siewert et al. show that subsurface soil properties in permafrost tundra terrain exhibit tremendous spatial variability. They describe the subsurface variability of soil organic carbon (SOC) and ground ice content from the centimeter to the landscape scale in three typical tundra terrain types common across the Arctic region.
