Recovered Drained Thaw Lake Basins (DTLBs) on the Arctic Coastal Plain of
Alaska using InSAR DEM and Remote Sensing Imagery
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/106.343

Summary
Paleoshorelines of Drained Thaw Lake Basins (DTLBs) on the Alaskan North Slope
were mapped using the Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar Digital
Elevation Model (InSAR DEM) and remote sensing imagery. A total of ~10,200 km2
of DTLBs were recovered on a ~22,000 km2 region with the complete latitudinal
range of the western Arctic Coastal Plain (ACP) of Alaska. This region extends
from the Point Barrow (71°23′N) southward to the northern end of the Arctic
Foothills physiographic province (69°30′N), and from the Beaufort Sea
(154°23′W) westward to the Chukchi Sea (158°13′W). Shape of the region is
confined by the valid spatial extent of the airborne InSAR DEM acquired by
Intermap Technologies in the summers of 2002-2004. For further information,
