Aerial Images of Alaska's Arctic Coastal Plain; 1948-1949
September 28, 2022
This dataset is comprised of 36 black and white 9x9 inch aerial images of four different study areas on Alaska\'s Arctic Coastal Plain taken between 1948-1949 and obtained from the Alaska Satellite Facility in 2013. The images represent an historical snapshot of the landscape from that time. \r\n The images were scanned and geo-referenced to various contemporary (2002-2010) satellite imagery using tie-point methods and splines for interpolation.

Historical and contemporary imagery to assess ecosystem change on the Arctic coastal plain of northern Alaska
The Arctic Coastal Plain of northern Alaska is a complex landscape of lakes, streams, and wetlands scattered across low-relief tundra that is underlain by permafrost. This region of the Arctic has experienced a warming trend over the past three decades leading to thawing of on-shore permafrost and the disappearance of sea ice at unprecedented rates.
