Summary: Helicopter flights will take place for site reconnaissance in the Niglintgak field area. The surveys will locate various features with GPS, photographs, and video, including land near major water courses, unique features (e.g. patterned ground), and problem areas. Re-survey of existing lease boundaries at Camp Farewell will be done. Optimal sites for infrastructure and water resources will be dete...

Summary: Climate change is expected to have the greatest impacts in northern regions. Permafrost degradation is a likely outcome of warming temperatures. As temperatures increase and permafrost begins to melt, there is likely to be significant impacts on aquatic communities as nutrients and contaminants accumulated in permafrost are released into lakes. This study will examine the impact of permafrost degr...
