Presentation Transcript
slide1. Hydrology, Permafrost, Wetlands Working Group Surface Properties:
Better Wetlands Mapping (peatlands?)– leading into NiSAR
Seasonality is next – important for communities – applied science
Permafrost / soil Subsidence – but wall to wall – LiDAR?
High Resolution is critical – applied science contribution to communities
Snowpack dynamics (Snow-EX?)
Insulating properties as snow accumulates (changing vegetation, larger events)
Vegetation- spread, transitions, no-natural regeneration
How will this affect energy transfer to the subsurface
How will hydrologic regimes change
Ground Ice Distribution – while we can (but how?)
Important below 3m Looking Forward – wants and needs<br>
slide2. Hydrology, Permafrost, Wetlands Working Group Integration – LTER – NGEE Arctic…
Bring the mountains of observations spatially to the process scale knowledge developed at a site.
Link Landscape Change and Water Quality
Investment needed still to get the observations
Support for proper data-model fusion
Do we have the pieces needed to characterize the hydrology now vs. ten years from now Looking Forward – wants and needs<br>
slide3. Hydrology, Permafrost, Wetlands Working Group What will things look like when the permafrost is gone?
What will happen to infrastructure, communities, economies when the permafrost is gone?
Housing, resource access and use, etc?
Is there an approach for Permafrost Protection at scale?
Additional support to develop water resource vulnerability
Landscape water availability
Rapid assessments of subsidence events, drainage events
Identify resilient landscapes now – and into (human, ecosystem) relevant time frames in the future Questions and Concerns<br>
slide4. Hydrology, Permafrost, Wetlands Working Group Sense of urgency…
Monitoring cannot stop! This knowledge is critical for science and society
Define our investments as focused on adaptation moving forward Seriousness of the issues at hand<br>
