Transportation Access Index for Remote Communities That Considers Modal Seasonality by Thomas Stringer, Amy M. Kim

“…We introduce a new accessibility index that uses a cost-based approach in accounting for seasonality, using data from the Northwest Territories, Canada. We find that fly-in communities or communities with more seasonal variation in terrestrial access tend to have higher travel costs to service centers than those connected year-round by all-weather roads.…”

Diatom ecological response to deposition of the 833-850 CE White River Ash (east lobe) ashfall in a small subarctic Canadian lake by Scott J. Hutchinson, Paul B. Hamilton, R. Timothy Patterson, Jennifer M. Galloway, Nawaf A. Nasser, Christopher Spence, Hendrik Falck

“…A <5 mm thick volcanic ashfall layer associated with the White River Ash (east lobe [WRAe]) originating from the eruption of Mount Churchill, Alaska (833-850 CE; 1,117–1,100 cal BP) was observed in two freeze cores obtained from Pocket Lake (62.5090°N, −114.3719°W), a small subarctic lake located within the city limits of Yellowknife, Northwest Territories, Canada. Here we analyze changes in diatom assemblages to assess impact of tephra deposition on the aquatic biota of a subarctic lake. …”
