Coring Data from Drained Thaw-Lake Basins of the Arctic Coastal Plain, Alaska
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/106.ARCSS143

Summary
This data set includes measurements and observations taken from drained
thaw-lake basin (DTLB) cores retrieved from Barrow and Atqasuk, Alaska in
April and August of 2001 through 2003. Investigators selected young, medium,
old, and ancient DTLBs to collect data from by surveying their vegetation.
DTLBs become sites for the accumulation of organic carbon as peat deposits.
With this research, investigators aimed to estimate the amount of carbon
sequestered in drained basins, supplement current knowledge of the basic
processes governing these important elements of the northern Alaskan
landscape, and provide new information on landscape-scale response to climate
change. Data files are in Microsoft Excel format and documentation are in
Microsoft Word format.
