DOI: 10.1002/jwmg.21246

Abstract: Gosling body mass can affect first year survival, recruitment, adult body size, and future fecundity of geese, and can serve as an indicator of forage availability and quality on brood-rearing areas. From 2012–2014 we measured… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ppp.2105

Abstract: Riverbank erosion in yedoma regions strongly affects landscape evolution, biogeochemical cycling, sediment transport, and organic and nutrient fluxes to the Arctic Ocean. Since 2006, we have studied the 35‐m‐high Itkillik River yedoma bluff in northern… read more here.

DOI: 10.1130/g52086.1

Abstract: Active orogens balance tectonic rock uplift with erosion, commonly via river incision coupled to landslide denudation of “threshold” hillslopes, but sediment’s role in this feedback is unclear. We report fluvial geometry, and sediment size, prevalence,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1139/cjes-2024-0125

Abstract: Here we present a comprehensive overview of available paleomagnetic studies and datasets from northern Alaska, USA, and Yukon, Canada. Most studies in this region were conducted when our understanding of best-practices paleomagnetism was still developing;… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fpls.2020.01174

Abstract: A warming Arctic has been associated with increases in aboveground plant biomass, specifically shrubs, and changes in vegetation cover. However, the magnitude and direction of changes in NDVI have not been consistent across different tundra… read more here.
