Description:
Abstract:
This dataset includes physical, hydraulic, and thermal properties of soils collected in two sub-watersheds in the Noatak River Basin in northwestern Alaska. Physical properties include dry bulk density and porosity. Hydraulic properties include field- and lab-based hydraulic conductivity, soil-water retention data, and parameters used in a common soil-water retention model (van Genuchten model). Thermal properties include thermal conductivity, resistivity, diffusivity, and specific heat capacity.
Purpose:
These data were collected as part of the Hydro-Ecology of Arctic Thaw project (HEAT), which aims to understand the implications of Arctic warming on stream ecosystems. These samples informed cryohydrological modeling and catchment water budget calculations.

Process_Step:
Process_Description:
Soil pits were dug in representative landscapes for the purposes of investigating soil types, locating permafrost, measuring soil hydraulic conductivity, and collecting cores to be sent for laboratory analyses.
Process_Date: 20160810
Process_Step:
Process_Description:
Field-saturated hydraulic conductivity measurements were made using a Guelph Permeameter. First, a hole was augered and the walls were brushed if necessary to remove smearing of grains along the hole walls. A measurement was made at a single head, and water level and time were recorded. A calculation sheet available at the manufacturer's website, soilmoisture.com was used to calculate hydraulic conductivity.
Process_Date: 20160810
Process_Step:
Process_Description:
Soil samples were collected in 2 inch diameter PVC sleeves and stored in baggies that were taped tightly around the sample to minimize moisture loss.
Process_Date: 20160810
Process_Step:
Process_Description:
Samples were shipped to the Daniel B. Stephens and Associates, Inc. Soil Testing and Research Laboratory in Albuquerque, NM where physical, hydraulic, and thermal tests were conducted and a report created
Source_Used_Citation_Abbreviation: DBSA
Process_Date: 20171012
Process_Step:
Process_Description:
At the laboratory, an intact sub-sample was obtained from each sample by using a slightly smaller diameter test ring to remove an intact section from the original sample. Each of these sub-samples was subjected to initial properties analysis, saturated hydraulic conductivity testing, and the hanging column and pressure chamber portions of the moisture retention testing. Several sub-samples were also subjected to thermal properties testing at the saturated moisture content and at the oven dry state.

Process_Date: 20171020
Process_Step:
Process_Description:
Material adjacent to the sub-sampled material was used for the dewpoint potentiometer and relative humidity chamber portions of the moisture retention testing.
