Data file describing the bacterial production and bacterial respiration of water samples collected at various sites near Toolik Lake on the North Slope of Alaska. Sample site descriptors include site, date, time, depth, and category representing severity of thermokarst disturbance. A synthesis of the data presented here is published in Cory et al. 2013, PNAS 110:3429-3434, and in Cory et al. 2014, Science 345:925-928.
Thermokarst Remote Sensing
Abstract
Benjamin Crosby, 2013 Inventory and description of thermokarst features observed along the Umiat Corridor in July 2009.. 10.6073/pasta/ed15380760b65a9b4685e38b58f846c5
Using a combination of aerial imagery and ~1m resolution airborne lidar (collected July, 2009), we use manual visual inspection of the two datasets to identify point locations of over 7000 thermal erosion features (thermokarst) of varying maturity. For each feature we report its x,y position, the facing direction of the feature, the local topographic setting, the geologic unit it occurs on, the relative age of the feature and the specific type of thermal erosion feature.
Thermokarst Streams
Abstract
William "Breck" Bowden, 2014 ARCSS/TK stream dissolved organic carbon biodegradability (2011).. 10.6073/pasta/2057860f44b75e4291072a996f2b99b1
The (ARCSSTK) did extensive research during 2009-2011 field seasons in Arctic Alaska. The objective of this data set was to measure the quantity and biodegradability of DOC from headwater streams and rivers across three geographic regions and across four natural ‘treatments’ (reference; thermokarst-; burned-, and thermokarst + burned-impacted streams) to evaluate which factors most strongly influence DOC quantity and biodegradablity at a watershed scale.

Abstract
Michael Gooseff, Sarah Godsey, 2012 Meteorological data near thermokarst sites around Toolik Lake Field Station, Summer 2009-Summer 2012. 10.6073/pasta/5089ebdcad8fefee800fe3aa60b2437b
GroMeteorological parameters were measured hourly adjacent to thermokarst features in the region around Toolik Field Station. Pressure, rainfall, wind speed and direction, solar radiation, air temperature and relative humidity were all measured at 1-3m above the ground surface with an Onset U30 weather station connected to all sensors.
Michael Gooseff, Sarah Godsey, 2012 Ground temperature at and near NE 14 thermokarst sites around Toolik Lake Field Station, Alaska, Summer 2009-Summer 2012. 10.6073/pasta/84046582477f7d660eaaf6526dc0ec46
Ground temperatures were measured hourly at ~20-50cm intervals below the ground surface inside and adjacent to thermokarst features in the region around Toolik Field Station. Ground temperatures were measured using Hobo thermistors. Temperatures at 0 and 20cm depths were measured directly in the ground whereas 40cm and deeper measurements were logged from dry wells installed in summer 2009. NE14_TS02dot02_temp is located in the old NE14 thermokarst, upslope.

Ground temperatures were measured hourly at ~20-50cm intervals below the ground surface inside and adjacent to thermokarst features in the region around Toolik Field Station. Ground temperatures were measured using Hobo thermistors. Temperatures at 0 and 20cm depths were measured directly in the ground whereas 40cm and deeper measurements were logged from dry wells installed in summer 2009. TRTK_GT01dot05_temp is located outside the TRTK thermokarst, midslope.
Michael Gooseff, Sarah Godsey, 2012 Ground temperature at and near I-Minus-2 thermokarst sites around Toolik Lake Field Station, Alaska, Summer 2009-Summer 2012. 10.6073/pasta/e46aa3731f4da34010d72745ba60a448
Ground temperatures were measured hourly at ~20-50cm intervals below the ground surface inside and adjacent to thermokarst features in the region around Toolik Field Station. Ground temperatures were measured using Hobo thermistors. Temperatures at 0 and 20cm depths were measured directly in the ground whereas 40cm and deeper measurements were logged from dry wells installed in summer 2009. IM2_GT01dot06_temp is located inside of the I-Minus-2 Gulley thermokarst, downslope.

This database contains soil and permafrost stratigraphy associated with thermokarst features near Toolik Lake and the Noatak River collected by Torre Jorgenson and Andrew Balser during summers 2009-2011. The Access Database has main data tables (tbl_) for site (environmental), soil stratigraphy, soil physical data, soil chemical data, soil isotopes (ground ice), soil radiocarbon dates, topography and bathymetry, and vegetation cover.
