Biocomplexity of Patterned Ground: Mould Bay Expedition
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/106.202

Summary
A team of 24 people from the University of Alaska Fairbanks and other
organizations worked at Inuvik, NorthWest Territories (NWT) and Mould Bay,
Prince Patrick Island, NWT during the period 12-27 July 2004, as part of the
"Biocomplexity associated with biogeochemical cycles in arctic frost-boil
ecosystems" project. This year's work was the third in a 5-year project. The
main objective of the research is to investigate the properties of small
patterned-ground ecosystems along a climate gradient from the coldest parts of
the Arctic to the northern boreal forest. The team is studying earth hummocks,
non-sorted circles, small non-sorted polygons, and turf hummocks - how they
form, how they vary with climate and substrate, and their role in total
ecosystem functions.
