Abstract

This dataset represents a map of the high center (HC) and low center (LC) polygon boundaries delineated from high resolution LiDAR data for the arctic coastal plain at Barrow, Alaska, presented as Figure 3a in the publication by Gangodagamage et al. (2014). The polygon troughs are considered as the surface expression of the ice-wedges. The troughs are in lower elevations than the interior polygon. The trough widths were initially identified from LiDAR data, and the boundary between two polygons assumed to be located along the lowest elevations on trough widths between them. Included are the components of a shapefile, PNG files, and the file-level metadata. The Next-Generation Ecosystem Experiments: Arctic (NGEE Arctic), was a research effort to reduce uncertainty in Earth System Models by developing a predictive understanding of carbon-rich Arctic ecosystems and feedbacks to climate. NGEE Arctic was supported by the Department of Energy's Office of Biological and Environmental Research. The NGEE Arctic project had two field research sites: 1) located within the Arctic polygonal tundra coastal region on the Barrow Environmental Observatory (BEO) and the North Slope near Utqiagvik (Barrow), Alaska and 2) multiple areas on the discontinuous permafrost region of the Seward Peninsula north of Nome, Alaska.more »« less

Soil Water Characteristics of Cores from Low- and High-Centered Polygons, Utqiagvik (Barrow), Alaska, 2012

Dataset Moon, Ji-Won ; Graham, David

This dataset includes soil water characteristic curves for soil and permafrost in two representative frozen cores collected from a high-center polygon (HCP) and a low-center polygon (LCP) from the Barrow Environmental Observatory. Data include soil water content and soil water potential measured using the simple evaporation method for hydrological and biogeochemical simulations and experimental data analysis. Data can be used to generate a soil moisture characteristic curve, which can be fit to a variety of hydrological functions to infer critical parameters for soil physics. Considering the measured the soil water properties, the van Genuchten model predicted well the HCP, inmore »« less
Microtopographic characterization of ice-wedge polygon landscape in Utqiagvik (Barrow), Alaska: Troughs, rims, and centers derived from high-resolution (0.25 m) LiDAR data

Dataset Gangodagamage, Chandana ; Wullschleger, Stan

The dataset represents microtopographic characterization of the ice-wedge polygon landscape in Barrow, Alaska, presented as Figure 3b in the publication by Gangodagamage et al. (2014). Three microtopographic features are delineated using 0.25 m high resolution digital elevation dataset derived from LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) available as PNG, TIF, and GEOJSON files as listed in the file-level metadata (CSV) file. User will need software or tools like a GIS viewer and Photo viewer to access the files. The troughs, rims, and centers are the three categories in this classification scheme. The polygon troughs are the surface expression of the ice-wedgesmore »« less
Frost Table Elevation across a Low-Centered and a High-Centered Polygon, Mapped using Ground Penetrating Radar, Utqiagvik (Barrow), Alaska, 2015

Dataset Dafflon, Baptiste ; Soom, Florian ; Peterson, John ; ...

Ground Penetrating Radar, active layer thickness point measurements, and ground elevation surveys were conducted on a low-centered and a high-centered polygon in Utqiagvik (Barrow), AK (on October 2nd, 2015) to map frost table topography and evaluate its influence on hydrological flow. Data were collected to improve our understanding of the topography of the permafrost table across polygons which may have a major influence on hydrology. This dataset includes 2 zip files containing the raw data, 2 csv files of processed data, and a pdf user guide.The Next-Generation Ecosystem Experiments: Arctic (NGEE Arctic), was a research effort to reduce uncertainty inmore »« less
Iron and Phosphorus Geochemistry in High-Centered and Low-Centered Polygon Soils from the Barrow Environmental Observatory, Utqiagvik, Alaska, 2015

Dataset Herndon, Elizabeth ; Kinsman-Costello, Lauren ; Di-Domenico, Nicolle ; ...

This dataset provides chemical characterization of soil cores obtained in triplicate from center and trough positions of a high-centered polygon and center, ridge, and trough positions of a low-centered polygon in the NGEE Arctic research area within the Barrow Environmental Observatory, Utqiagvik, Alaska. Photographs of the 15 collected cores are provided. Cores were collected to thaw depth in early October 2015 and subsequently divided into subsamples for analysis, which included bulk soil horizons (organic or mineral) and finer scale depth increments (minimum 4 cm thickness per increment). Bulk horizons and depth increments were characterized using sequential chemical extractions for Femore »« less
