North Slope shrubs expansion

Project Details

• Project ID:

  1567

• Nickname/Abbreviation:

  North Slope Shrubs

• Parent Project:

  Alaska Hydrology Program

• Status:

  Active

• Description:

  An NSF funded project studying prolific shrub growth in small drainages on the North Slope. We found that these shrubs grow in areas where streams use groundwater conduits that remain open year-round. This has major consequences for winter discharge into bigger rivers and could be part of the increased aufeis in lower Sagavanirktok River
