  1. LONG-TERM MEASUREMENTS AND OBSERVATIONS FOR THE INTERNATIONAL ARCTIC RESEARCH COMMUNITY ON THE KUPARUK RIVER BASIN, ALASKA Douglas L Kane University of Alaska Fairbanks, Fairbanks, AK AON 2008

  2. HYDROLOGIC GOALS TO PROVIDE THE INTERNATIONAL ARCTIC RESEARCH COMMUNITY WITH QUALITY, LONG-TERM DATA, TO IMPROVE OUR UNDERSTANDING OF ARCTIC HYDROLOGICAL PROCESSES, TO DETECT AND QUANTIFY CLIMATE INDUCED CHANGE ON THE HYDROLOGIC CYCLE, TO ENABLE THE DEVELOPMENT OF NEW MODELS TO EXTRAPOLATE HYDROLOGICALLY RELATED PROCESSES IN BOTH TIME AND SPACE, AND TO CAPTURE EXTREME EVENTS (FLOODS, DROUGHT, ETC.).
