  • River ice phenology across Alaska

    Open AccessDana R N Brown, Dana RN Brown et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2026

    River ice is a vital component of the cryosphere, influencing hydrology, ecology, and society. When adequately thick and stable, river ice serves as a key transportation corridor for residents of remote Arctic and sub-Arctic communities. Climate change is altering the timing, extent, and duration of river ice cover, impacting both environmental processes and human activities. This study examines regional variability and temporal change in river i…

  • Drivers of historical and projected changes in diverse boreal ecosystems

    Open AccessM Torre Jorgenson, Dana R N Brown et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2022

    Alaska has diverse boreal ecosystems across heterogeneous landscapes driven by a wide range of biological and geomorphic processes associated with disturbance and successional patterns under a changing climate. To assess historical patterns and rates of change, we quantified the areal extent of ecotypes and the biophysical factors driving change through photo-interpretation of 2200 points on a time-series (∼1949, ∼1978, ∼2007, ∼2017) of geo-recti…

  • Identifying increasing risks of hazards for northern land-users caused by permafrost thaw

    Open AccessCarolyn Gibson, Carolyn M Gibson et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2021

    Understanding the causes and consequences of environmental change is one of the key challenges facing researchers today as both types of information are required for decision making and adaptation planning. This need is particularly poignant in high latitude regions where permafrost thaw is causing widespread changes to local environments and the land-users who must adapt to changing conditions to sustain their livelihoods. The inextricable link …

  • Changing River Ice Seasonality and Impacts on Interior Alaskan Communities

    Open AccessDana R N Brown, Todd Brinkman et al.ARTICLEWeather, Climate, and Society2018

    Subsistence harvesters in high latitudes rely on frozen rivers for winter access to local resources. During recent decades, interior Alaskan residents have observed changes in river ice regimes that are significant hindrances to travel and subsistence practices. We used remote sensing in combination with local observations to examine changes in seasonality of river breakup and freeze-up and to assess the implications on travel for subsistence har…
