Scientists with NASA's ABoVE field campaign modeled the distribution of permafrost across the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta of Alaska.
High-Resolution Permafrost Maps for Western Alaska
High-resolution elevation maps, based on LiDAR, were used to model the distribution of permafrost across the Y-K Delta of Alaska. The map insets show detail for areas of relative high elevation (left) and low elevation (right).
