Preliminary Permafrost Predictions within the Chena River Watershed, Alaska, Using Landscape Characteristics

Abstract

This Technical Note presents a method to create permafrost predictions in the Chena River watershed near Fairbanks, Alaska, using landscape characteristics. We produced probabilities for near-surface permafrost in the Chena River watershed using a published algorithmapplied in a nearby region. The methodology presented serves as a proof of concept for developing permafrost maps using similar data in other cold regions.
