Vista Data Vision software and web interface

Recently the Permafrost Laboratory has purchased a software package from Vista Engineering, Vista Data Vision.  This software will help us organize our data into a MySQL database while at the same time providing a web interface to view and interact with the data.  At first we will be adding only those sites with real-time data to the database but soon we hope to also have offline sites and archived historical data avaible.  You can access the Vista Data Vision web interface here

New paper on Thermokarst Lake Dynamics just published in JGR Biogeosciences was selected as Editors' Highlight

A second paper resulting from our group's work on permafrost and thermokarst dynamics, funded by NASA Carbon Cycle Sciences and NSF Arctic Program, was selected as Editors' Highlight in Journal of Geophysical Research - Biogeosciences and as Research Spotlight in EOS (vol. 92, iss. 45, p. 408).

Supercomputer Essential for Permafrost Modeling

Geophysical Institute Quarterly, volume 22, number 4, 2010. Dr. Sergei Marchenko of the GI Permafrost Lab was featured. From the article, "Geophysical Institute permafrost researchers rely on the Arctic Region Supercomputing Center to help create simulations predicting the future of permafrost in both Alaska and Siberia. 'We can expect degradation of the current permafrost'," said Dr. Marchenko.
