Assessing spatial heterogeneity of active layer thickness over Arctic-foothills tundra, North Slope Alaska

Abstract. Changes in active layer thickness (ALT) are used as an indicator of permafrost degradation. Increases in ALT can lead to increased greenhouse gas emissions, altered hydrology and ecology, ground instability, and a positive climate feedback. Quantifying ALT spatial heter...
