Since 1983, the Streams Project at the Toolik Field Station has monitored physical, chemical, and biological parameters in a 5-km, fourth-order reach of the Kuparuk River near its intersection with the Dalton Highway and the Trans-Alaska Pipeline. In 1989, similar studies were begun on a 3.5-km, third-order reach of a second stream, Oksrukuyik Creek.
Soils were collected from the frozen permafrost layer (greater than 60 cm below the surface) at six sites underlying tussock or wet sedge vegetation, and on three glacial surfaces on the North Slope of Alaska during the summers of 2015 and 2018. Dissolved organic carbon (DOC) was leached from each permafrost soil and the water chemistry was analyzed.
