Urbanization, climate, and frozen ground in Barrow, Alaska

2024-06-03T04:31:40Z

Klene, Anna Elizabeth.

"This dissertation examines the climate and near-surface thermal regime of Barrow, Alaska. Separate articles explore a comparison of two 27 year air temperature records, the summer spatial temperature pattern, soil temperatures in the urban and rural areas, and estimate the spatial pattern of thaw depth. Much of this work is a contribution to the Barrow Urban Heat Island Study, which established 70 sites within a 150 km area measuring hourly air and near-surface (5 cm) soil temperatures in 2001. The 27 year records for the National Weather Service and Climate Monitoring and Diagnostics Laboratory were also analyzed. Comparison of these records showed systematic instrumentation bias, a location move not documented in the station history, and increasing contrasts between these records as urbanization progressed. Analysis of summer patterns demonstrated the dominance of maritime influences and the absence of a seasonal summer heat island, despite a distinct heat-island effect in winter. Summer soil-surface temperatures, however, were elevated within the urban area and active-layer thickness was 15-40 cm deeper than in rural areas with similar landcover types. Two formulations were used to map active-layer thickness in the village and surrounding areas. Although the Stefan solution consistently overestimated the depth of thaw, the modified Berggren equation, in its first implementation in a spatial context, performed well. Suggestions for further research are also included"--Leaf xv.

Permafrost dynamics in 20th and 21st centuries along the East-Siberian and Alaskan transects

2024-06-03T04:31:40Z

Sazonova, Tatiana Sergeevna.
[2003]
"High latitude ecosystems where the mean annual ground surface temperature is around or below OC? are highly sensitive to global warming. This is largely because these regions contain vast areas of permafrost which will begin to degrade when the mean annual ground temperatures will be above OC?. The Alaskan and East Siberian transects, centered on the 155 ?WL and 135 ?EL, were chosen evaluate permafrost - atmosphere interactions. The analysis of measured air and ground temperatures from these two transects show that from late 1950 an increase and its magnitude is from 2.5 up to 5C?/100 years, and is comparable to trends predicted by majority of global warming scenarios. A simple and accurate model for evaluating the permafrost dynamics was developed in Geophysical Institute Permafrost Lab (GIPL). The GIPL model is the union of the modified Kudryavtsev's approach, which is the set of analytical formulas for active layer thickness (ALT) and mean annual ground temperatures (MAGT) calculations, with the Geographic Information System (GIS). The evaluation of the GIPL performance showed that the relative error for MAGT does not exceed 33% and 32% for the ALT. The GIPL model was used for the hindcast of the permafrost dynamics in the 20th century, using climatic parameters provided by Dr. David McGuire. The results showed that in 20th century there was a number of relatively cold and warm periods during which changes in MAGT were 1 to 3C? and up to 1 m for the ALT. The forecast for the period of 2000-2100 was performed using climatic parameters from six Global Climate Models provided by Arctic Climate Impact Assessment program. The results showed that by the end of the 21st century mean annual ground temperatures will be 2 to 6C? warmer and the ALT from 0.2 to 1 m deeper. In some areas within both transects the degradation of permafrost from the survace will start by 2100"--Leaves iii-iv.

Temporal and spatial variability of microclimate and permafrost conditions in Fairbanks Regions, Alaska

Yershova, Galina E.
[2003]
"Spatial variability of the climate and permafrost conditions in the Fairbanks region was studied using the temperature measurements at a number of sites in the area of approximately 100x100 km around Fairbanks. The effect of climatic and surface parameters (air temperature, vegetation and snow cover, soil properties including water content) on thermal regime of the ground was studied using the temperature and water content measurements at five sites that represent various landscapes and form the Smith Lake profile. The effect of the topographic gradient and slope aspect on the thermal regime of the ground was studied using the temperature measurements and site moisture characterization along three local topo-sequences in the Fairbanks region. In both considered cases, across various landscapes and along local topo-sequences, the main factor that influences the thermal regime of the ground during the cold period was the snow cover (its depth and duration on the ground) and its combination with the water content on the surface and in the near-surface soils; during the warm period, the main factor was the water content at the surface and in the near surface soils due to the effect of evaporation from the surface that causes cooling of the ground, and the type of local ground surface vegetation"--Leaf iii.

The influence of soil cryostructure on the creep and long term strength properties of frozen soils

2024-06-03T04:31:40Z

Bray, Matthew Thomas.
2008.
"The time dependent mechanical properties of ice-rich frozen soils were studied in relation to their cryostructure. The CRREL permafrost tunnel was the primary source of the studied ice-rich soils. Mapping of the permafrost geology of the main adit of the CRREL permafrost tunnel was performed and reinterpreted in the context of a cryofacial approach. The cryofacial approach in based on the concept that cryostructure is dependent on how a soil was deposited and subsequently frozen. Three main soil cryostructures were determined to represent the main aspects of the permafrost geology. Soils with micro-lenticular cryostructure represent the original ice-rich syngenetic permafrost formed during the Pleistocene. Reworked sediment due to fluvial-thermal erosion resulted in soils with massive cryostructure and soils with reticulate-chaotic cryostructure. Ice bodies within the tunnel include syngenetic wedge ice and secondary thermokarst cave ice deposits. A testing program for determining the time dependent mechanical properties, including the creep and long term strength characteristics of permafrost in relation to soil cryostructure, was performed. Undisturbed frozen soils include silty soil containing micro-lenticular, reticulate-chaotic, and massive cryostructure. Remolded silt from the tunnel was used to create artificial samples with massive cryostructure for comparison to the undisturbed frozen soils. In addition to frozen silt, undisturbed ice facies were tested. These included syngenetic wedge ice, Matanuska basal glacial ice, and Matanuska glacial ice. Testing methods include uniaxial constant stress creep (CSC) tests and uniaxial relaxation tests. It was shown that soil cryostructure and ice facies influences the creep and long term strength properties of frozen soils. It was shown that remolded soils provide non-conservative creep and long term strength estimates when extrapolated to undisturbed frozen soils. Minimum strain rate flow laws show that at low stresses, undisturbed soils creep at a faster rate than remolded soils. At high stresses, frozen soils creep at a faster rate than ice. It was also shown that the unfrozen water content influences the mechanical properties of frozen soils and that the unfrozen water content is influenced by soil cryostructure. Through cryostructure, the permafrost geology is related to the time dependent mechanical properties of frozen soils"--Leaf iii.

Thermal conductivity of recycled tire rubber to be used as insulating fill beneath roadways

2024-06-03T04:31:40Z

Shao, Jiong,
1995.
Under the present federal highway funding act, Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act (ISTEA) of 1991, used tires in all states must be either combined with highway pavements or recycled as consumer products in increasing amounts. One possible use of tires in Alaska is to shred, chop or grind tires into small particles and use this material as an insulating fill to reduce thaw or freeze penetration beneath roads. This study presents the results of measuring thermal conductivities of frozen and unfrozen ground and shredded tire rubber of various sizes and at three compactions. Thermal conductivities ranged from 0.059 to 0.096 BTU/hr-ft-F0 for crumb rubber, 0.056 to 0.080 BTU/hr-ft-F0 for rubber buffings, and 0.071 to 0.10 BTU/hr-ft-F0 for rubber chips. Resilient moduli of the two smaller types of rubber samples were also measured in a triaxial test cell. Values ranged from 94 psi at a confining pressure of 5 psi up to 215 psi at a confining pressure of 15 psi.

Modeling of permafrost and gas hydrate stability zone within Alaskan Arctic shelves and continental margins

2024-06-03T04:31:40Z

Pokrovsky, Sergei I.
[2003]
"A mathematical model was used to determine the behavior of the thermal regime and temperature and pressure conditions due to climate and sea level variations of the gas hydrate stability zone formation at four sites within the Alaskan Arctic Shelf. Two soil types, coarse-grained and fine-grained, and three types of programs were used. The programs were distinguished by whether or not they took unfrozen water and latent heat into account. Simulations suggest the presence of subsea permafrost in a vast area of shelf near Prudhoe Bay. Near Barrow and Lonely subsea permafrost extends up to several tens of kilometers offshore, while subsea permafrost near Cape Thompson almost completely disappeared during the last marine transgression. Distribution of subsea permafrost varies with soil type, thermal properties and geothermal heat flow. The possible presence of methane gases in a pore space of the material influences the thermal regime and permafrost distribution. Simulations indicate that a Gas Hydrate Stability Zone can exist at depths from 220 m to 1100 m. Possible formation and presence of gas hydrates in the sediments changes the thermal regime significantly; therefore the shape of subsea permafrost depends on whether or not gases are present in the sediments"--Leaf iii.

An annual snow-soil simulator for Arctic tundra was developed using coupled models of surface equilibrium temperature and substrate thermal diffusion. Snow ripening, melt and accumulation are modeled in the simulator which is forced with daily weather data. The simulator predicts that a snow fence array capable of producing drift deeper than 4.2 meters will initiate a permanent snowfield at Barrow, AK. Such a man-induced snowfield could serve as a reliable source of fresh water for Barrow and similar villages in the North Slope region of Alaska. Further analysis indicated that albedo reduction due to dust fall, snow removal, etc., is dominant over aerodynamic effects in producing the early spring meltout observed at Barrow Village.

Numerical modeling of seasonally freezing ground and permafrost

Nicolsky, Dmitry J.

"This thesis represents a collection of papers on numerical modeling of permafrost and seasonally freezing ground dynamics. An important problem in numerical modeling of temperature dynamics in permafrost and seasonally freezing ground is related to parametrization of already existing models. In this thesis, a variation data assimilation technique is presented to find soil properties by minimizing the discrepancy between in-situ measured temperatures and those computed by the models. The iterative minimization starts from an initial approximation of the soil properties that are found by solving a sequence of simple subproblems. In order to compute the discrepancy, the temperature dynamics is simulated by a new implementation of the finite element method applied to the heat equation with phase change. Despite simplifications in soil physics, the presented technique was successfully applied to recover soil properties, such as thermal conductivity, soil porosity, and the unfrozen water content, at several sites in Alaska. The recovered properties are used in discussion on soil freezing/thawing and permafrost dynamics in other parts of this thesis. Another part of this thesis concerns development of a numerical thermo-mechanical model of seasonal soil freezing on the lateral scale of several meters. The presented model explains observed differential frost heave occurring in non-sorted circle ecosystems north of the Brooks Range in the Alaskan tundra. The model takes into account conservation principles for energy, linear momentum and mass of three constituents: liquid water, ice and solid particles. The conservation principles are reduced to a computationally convenient system of coupled equations for temperature, liquid water pressure, porosity, and the velocity of soil particles in a three-dimensional domain with cylindrical symmetry. Despite a simplified rheology, the model simulates the ground surface motion, temperature, and water dynamics in soil and explains dependence of the frost heave on specific environmental properties of the ecosystem. In the final part, simulation of the soil temperature dynamics on the global scale is addressed. General Circulation Models are used to understand and predict future climate change, but most of them do not simulate permafrost dynamics and its potentially critical feedback on climate. In this part, a widely used climate model is evaluated and the simulated temperatures are compared against observations. Based on this comparison, several modifications to the Global Circulation Models are identified to improve the fidelity of permafrost and soil temperature simulations. These modifications include increasing the total soil depth by adding new layers, incorporating a surface organic layer, and modifying the numerical scheme to include unfrozen water dynamics"--Leaves iii-iv.

"The study showed that a significant fraction of coliform bacteria survive for more than six months in soil at different temperatures and moisture contents. Survivability of coliform bacteria at subzero temperatures decreased with an increase in moisture content and with an increase in temperature. Total coliform bacteria in soil samples placed outdoors during winter had lower survivability in comparison to samples placed at controlled temperatures below O?c. High survivability of total coliform bacteria at controlled, subzero temperatures was assumed to be related to the reduced metabolic activities of the bacteria"--Leaf iii.

Hydrologic comparisons and model simulations of subarctic watersheds containing continuous and discontinuous permafrost, Seward Peninsula, Alaska

Carr, Anne T.
[2003]
"Mauze Gulch (4.9 km²), and Niagara Creek (6.5 km²), located near Zougarok, Alaska and Melsing Creek (80.6 km²), and Clyde's Gulch (2 km²), located near Council, Alaska were studied to quantify the hydrologic response of these watersheds. They have been studied extensively as part of the NSF Arctic Transitions in the Land-Atmosphere System (ATLAS) study. These watersheds demonstrate a progression from a continental subarctic to a marine moderated subarctic environment. Each contains varying proportions of permafrost. Mauze Gulch and Niagara Creek are underlain by continuous, warm, thin permafrost (1?5-50m thick). Melsing Creek and Clyde's Gulch are underlain by discontinuous permafrost. The Swedish HBV-96 model was applied to these watersheds. The model requires minimal input of meteorological data (temperature and precipitation) to generate hydrographs. Examining the basic stream hydrology showed that differences in hydrologic response based on permafrost distribution can be identified. By changing parameters, such as field capacity and the percolation to the groundwater, it is possible to reflect physical differences between watersheds using the model. Results of this study were compared with previously studied basins in Alaska. Comparisons showed that model parameters can be used to distinguish differences in hydrologic response in basins with varying amounts of permafrost"--Leaf iii.

Multiresolution digital soil mapping of permafrost soils using a random forest classifier : an investigation along the Dalton Highway corridor, Alaska

2024-06-03T04:31:40Z

Paul, Joshua D.,
2018.
In order to complete soil inventories in the remote permafrost zones of Alaska, there is a need to develop efficient digital soil mapping tools that can be applied over large areas using a minimum of ground truth data. This investigation first used a random forest classifier to test combinations of environmental input data at multiple resolutions (10m, 30m, and 100m). Five tiers of soil taxonomic units were predicted: Order, Suborder, Great Group, "Series Concept", and Particle Size Class. Model outputs are compared quantitatively via estimated out-of-bag accuracy, and qualitatively via visual inspection by soil scientists. Estimated out-of-bag accuracy ranged from ~45% to ~75%, with results improving when fewer classes were modeled. Model runs at 10m and 30m resolution performed comparably, with 100m resolution performing ~5-10% worse in most cases. Increasing the number of trees used, including categorical environmental input data (e.g. landforms), and replacement of environmental covariates with principal component analysis (PCA) bands did not significantly improve model performance. The random forest classifier was then used in a digital soil mapping pilot study along the Dalton Highway in northern Alaska. Parameters suggested in the initial study were used to predict multiple soil taxonomic classes from a basic collection of environmental covariates generated using high resolution (10m) satellite images and sparsely sampled pedon data. Covariates included maximum curvature, multiresolution valley bottom flatness, normalized height, potential incoming solar radiation, slope, terrain ruggedness index, and modified soil and vegetation index. Five tiers of soil taxonomic units were predicted: Order, Suborder, Great Group, "Series Concept", and Particle Size Class. Model outputs are compared quantitatively via estimated out-of-bag accuracy. Estimated out-of-bag accuracy ranged from ~45% to ~75%, with results improving when fewer classes were modeled. We suggest future research into optimized sampling to ensure an adequate distribution of samples across the feature space, and the incorporation of expert knowledge into accuracy assessments. Overall, digital soil mapping with random forest classifiers appears to be a promising method for completing the soil survey of Alaska.

Field observations of a large diameter chilled pipeline experiment, Fairbanks, Alaska

Bray, Matthew Thomas.
[2003]
"A large scale 105 m long, 0.9 m diameter chilled pipeline experiment was conducted to assess the response of a chilled pipeline that transitions between unfrozen and permafrost soils in discontinuous permafrost regions. Thermal and heave characteristics of the experiment for a three year monitoring period are reported. In response to the chilled pipeline, the progressive cooling patterns within the permafrost and unfrozen soils were different resulting in the development of a thermal boundary at the transition zone between the two thermally different soils. The absolute maximum heave was 0.197 m near the thermal boundary, resulting in a differential heave of 0.148 m. Three distinct heave phases were identified within the unfrozen soil. Phase 1 heave was characterized by rapid frost penetration, heave due to pore water expansion, and FHR between 2.9% and 4.8%. Phase 2 heave was characterized by ice segregation, occurred approximately between 1.0 m and 2.5 m below the pipeline, and FHR values were 9.6% to 9.9%. Phase 3 heave occurred below 2.5 m, was representative of pore water expansion, with FHR approximately 4%. The average FHR ranged between 5.4% and 6.8%"--Leaf iii.
