Permafrost temperatures at depth represent a systematic running                 mean of the temperature history of the permafrost surface.                      Global changes, such as climatic warming associated with                        increasing CO2 content in the atmosphere, are reflected in the                  permafrost temperature profiles.  A host of serious environmental               and engineering problems that have a substantial impact on the use              of polar lands are associated with thawing permafrost.  However,                data on the thermal regime of permafrost in Alaska are very sparse              and mostly unusable because of surface disturbances near the drill              holes.                                                                                                                                                          This investigation will measure permafrost temperatures at sixteen              undisturbed sites along the trans-Alaska pipeline corridor which                includes Alaska's three major climate and permafrost zones and at               fifteen other widely distributed sites in Alaska.  Measurements                 will include temperatures in the air, at the ground surface, in                 the active layer, at the permafrost table and in the permafrost to              depths of 80 meters or more.  This project will also investigate                changes in active layer thicknesses and any thawing at the                      permafrost table or base.
