(2019-04-02)Species distributions are expected to shift with changes in climate at a global scale. The northern latitudes are warming at a rate three times greater than the global mean, which has resulted in the Arctic tundra undergoing ...
-
(2013-01-09)High Arctic permafrosted soils represent a massive sink in the global carbon cycle, accounting for twice as much carbon as what is currently stored as carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. However, with current warming trends ...

(John Wiley and Sons, Inc., 2015)Recent increases in deciduous shrub cover are a primary focus of terrestrial Arctic research. This study examined the historic spatial patterns of shrub expansion on the North Slope of Alaska to determine the potential ...
-
(2010-07-14)This project describes a portion of a long-term study of the behavioral ecology of sea otters. Sub-studies of this project include the development of an individual recognition program for sea otters, the construction of ...
-
(2014-05-23)Ice Age archaeology in Alaska is important for understanding when and how people first inhabited the Bering Land Bridge and ultimately peopled the Americas during a period of global climate change. The Owl Ridge archaeological ...
-
(2016-05-05)The mountainous upland landscapes of central Alaska play an important role in understanding key issues in Beringian archaeology, including human adaptation to new landscapes, changes in landscape use in response to ...
-
(2015-07-20)Reported here is a zooarchaeological and taphonomic analysis of faunal material from the archaeological sites HEA-455 and HEA-499, located in the upper Susitna River basin in the central Alaska Range. The bones are highly ...
