warming on seasonal thawing,
permafrost occurrence and properties,
and soil properties along a latitudinal
gradient on the western Antarctic
Peninsula. A 15 meter borehole will be
installed with a string of digital
temperature sensors placed at various
depths along the string. In addition, 10
shallow boreholes will be installed at
various elevations and on different
geomorphic surfaces for monitoring
active-layer (seasonal thaw layer)
dynamics. Once the project is complete,
