Progress and Accomplishments
NGEE Arctic Data Management Team Working with NGEE Tropics
The ORNL NGEE Arctic Data Management Team (DMT) is lending expertise and tools deployed for the NGEE Arctic data effort to the NGEE Tropics project. The DMT has deployed a multi-faceted system for NGEE Arctic comprised of the On-line Metadata Editor (OME)
Metadata and NGEE Arctic Search Tool Statistics - March 31, 2016
These statistics reflect metadata submission and usage of the NGEE Arctic Search Tool since its implementation in the spring of 2014. Metadata records reflect a combination of data, information and documentation that form a collection. While all metadata
NGEE Arctic scientists at BNL evaluate zero-power method of warming tundra ecosystems
Current approaches to raising air temperatures are plagued by needing access to electrical power. Scientists on the NGEE Arctic problem are working to overcome that common constraint…
A rock physics investigation of unconsolidated saline permafrost: P-wave properties from laboratory ultrasonic measurements
Researchers at LBNL apply seismic methods to examine characteristics of saline permafrost from coastal plain, Barrow, AK.
The relative influence of peat, surface and subsurface water, and snow on active layer thickness
Model simulations by LANL scientists were used to assess the relative effect of environment on active layer thickness.
UAF’s Vladimir Romanovsky named as NGEE Arctic new Chief Scientist
NGEE Arctic thanks Larry Hinzman for his contributions to Phase 1 and welcomes Vladimir Romanovsky in his expanded role as Chief Scientist.
Large team of NGEE Arctic scientists visit potential field sites on the Seward Peninsula
The planned establishment of research sites on the Seward Peninsula during Phase 2 prompts a large field reconnaissance trip to Nome.
