Permafrost Laboratory

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. 

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).

Research by Ronnie Daanen and Guido Grosse on rapidly moving debris flows in the Brooks Range has been featured in the Alaska Science Forum by Ned Rozell. See here for article in the Fairbanks Daily Newsminer from 18 September 2011.
