Next Generation Ecosystem Experiment

Characterized by vast amounts of carbon stored in permafrost and a rapidly evolving landscape, the Arctic is an important focal point for the study of climate change. These are sensitive systems, yet the mechanisms responsible for those sensitivities remain poorly understood and inadequately represented in Earth System Models. The NGEE Arctic project seeks to reduce uncertainty in climate prediction by better understanding critical land-atmosphere feedbacks in terrestrial ecosystems of Alaska.

Pics of the Trip...

It was a great two weeks of research in Barrow. I always enjoy working with colleagues and helping them, where possible, accomplish their project-related objectives. Members of our NGEE Arctic team will continue to come and go on the North Slope throughout the field season. We also have a large team of scientists visiting the Seward Peninsula in late July and early August to evaluate possible field sites for our proposed Phase 2 research activities. I’ll be sure to provide daily postings to the blog during that trip. Until then here are a few of my favorite pictures taken this past couples of weeks. Special thanks to Ori Chaffe for contributing her photos.
