Alaska's Permafrost in Warming Arctic
Did you know that much of the water in Alaska is not above ground, but frozen in the ground under your feet? However, as air temperatures rise with climate change, this frozen ground known as permafrost is thawing. How do you even study water that is underground, if you can’t see it? Using a novel blend of field measurements, satellite data, and mathematical models, scientists are trying to piece together how water is changing in the warming Arctic. Join a team of researchers and educators live from the Toolik Field Station (https://www.uaf.edu/toolik/), as they explore how the water cycle in the Arctic is changing.
