Synergistic Activities
1. Monitoring ground temperature dynamics in Alaska and Eurasia
2. Collaboration with other scientists to understand regional impacts of increasing fire frequency
and climate change on carbon dynamics and species composition in the boreal forest
3. Identification and evaluation of future susceptibility of permafrost degradation, including effects
of permafrost degradation induced coastal erosion. Development of permafrost hazard maps for
coastal communities in Alaska
