Vegetation composition and shrub extent on the Yukon coast, Canada, are strongly linked to ice-wedge polygon degradation by Wolter, J, Lantuit, H, Fritz, M, Macias-Fauria, M, Myers-Smith, I, Herzschuh, U

“…We analysed composition and cover of vascular plant taxa and surface height, active layer depth, soil temperature, carbon and nitrogen content, pH and electrical conductivity in four polygon mires located on the Yukon coast.

Channelized, distributed, and disconnected: spatial structure and temporal evolution of the subglacial drainage under a valley glacier in the Yukon by C. A. Rada Giacaman, C. A. Rada Giacaman, C. Schoof

“…Here we expand the analysis of the 8-year dataset of borehole observations on a small, alpine polythermal valley glacier in the Yukon Territory. We presented this dataset in <span class="cit" id="xref_text.1"><a href="#bib1.bibx59">Rada and Schoof</a> (<a href="#bib1.bibx59">2018</a>)</span>, where we described the seasonal evolution of the drainage system and underlined the importance of hydraulic isolation at the glacier bed. …”

Radarsat Constellation Mission Derived Winter Glacier Velocities for the St. Elias Icefield, Yukon/Alaska: 2022 and 2023 by Wesley Van Wychen, Courtney Bayer, Luke Copland, Erika Brummell, Christine Dow

“…Here we use high resolution (5 m) Radarsat Constellation Mission (RCM) imagery acquired in winters 2022 and 2023 to determine motion across glaciers of the St. Elias Icefield in Yukon/Alaska. Our regional velocity mapping largely conforms with previous studies, with faster motion (>600 m/yr) for the glaciers originating in the Yukon that drain southward and westward to the coast of Alaska and relatively slower motion (100–400 m/yr) for the land terminating glaciers that drain eastward and northeastward and stay within the Yukon. …”

An Object-Based Assessment of Multi-Wavelength SAR, Optical Imagery and Topographical Datasets for Operational Wetland Mapping in Boreal Yukon, Canada by Michael A. Merchant, Rebecca K. Warren, Rebecca Edwards, James K. Kenyon

“…The authors evaluated multiple remotely sensed datasets for their contributions to operational wetland mapping in a subarctic, boreal cordillera study site in Yukon, Canada. They assessed Sentinel-2 optical imagery, Sentinel-1 C-band and ALOS PALSAR L-band synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imagery, and topographical data from the territorial digital elevation model (DEM) using an object-based image analysis (OBIA) approach. …”

The (mis)identification of high-latitude dust events using remote sensing methods in the Yukon, Canada: a sub-daily variability analysis by R. Huck, R. G. Bryant, J. King

“…Here we explore the chronology of dust emissions at a known and instrumented high-latitude dust source: Lhù'ààn Mân (Kluane Lake) in Yukon, Canada. At this location we use oblique time-lapse (RC) cameras as a baseline for analysis of aerosol retrievals from in situ metrological data, AERONET, and co-incident MODIS MAIAC to (i) investigate the daily to annual chronology of dust emissions recorded by these instrumental and remote sensing methods (at timescales ranging from minutes to years) and (ii) use data intercomparisons to comment on the principal factors that control the detection of dust in each case.…”
