In work alongside Cluster collaborator Ben Abbott, University of Alabama based Arial Shogren researched the shoulder seasons in #Alaska, those times between winter/spring, summer/fall.

Shogren tells us about the importance of collecting dissolved organic carbon data as it moves through the surface layers of the Arctic during these shoulder seasons.

Data comes from the #Toolik area. This conversation recorded at #AGU23.

Abigail Rec is based at the University of #Vermont and presented at #AGU23 about understanding how variations in river flow influence is crucial to stream ecosystem processes.

Rec's #fieldwork occurred at the #Toolik Field Station in Alaska and examined how thawing permafrost is changing the ecosystem in the area.

It wasn't all work and in this conversation she described her first experience seeing a sunset in the #Arctic.

University of Alabama based Arial Shogren presented about under-researched shoulder seasons in #Alaska, times between winter/spring, summer/fall during the American Geophysical Annual Fall Meeting.

Data for this research comes from the remote Toolik Field Site and in this conversation recorded at #AGU23 Shogren describes how the expansion of remote work which was spurred by the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic has increased access to the #Toolik Environmental Data Center.
