Scientists working on the NGEE Arctic project provide evidence linking decadal patterns in arctic greening and browning with regional climate change and local permafrost-driven landscape heterogeneity, using newly developed decade time-scale remote

NGEE Arctic scientists from the University of Alaska Fairbanks and Lawrence Berkeley National Lab gave an overland tour of the Seward Peninsula to California’s Governor Jerry Brown to share hands-on climate change research in the Arctic.

We successfully integrated the Dynamic Vegetation, Dynamic Organic Soil, Terrestrial Ecosystem Model (DVM-DOS-TEM, University of Alaska Fairbanks) into the PEcAn framework to enable formal model uncertainty quantification (UQ), parameterization, and data-

We conducted our first NGEE-Arctic deployment of the multi-instrument Osprey heavy-lift octocopter at the three Seward Peninsula sites where we collected high-resolution visible imagery for structure from motion (SfM) 3-D plant and terrain surface heights

Soil warming decreases microbial functional diversity in the Arctic Tundra

Database survey of key traits for improved modeling of Arctic vegetation

Successfully acquired LiDAR and photogrammetry data at centimeter resolution of the NGEE-Arctic Teller research site using an Unmanned Aerial System (UAS)

Data assimilation of the historical temperature observations is completed.

We develop and test a joint deterministic–stochastic inversion approach that can take advantage of time-lapse electrical resistivity and other data.
