I am the senior research assistant with George Kling for the Land-Water Interactions component of the Arctic Long Term Ecological Research (LTER) site at Toolik Field Station. We focus on the fluxes of nutrients (Nitrogen & Phosphorus), carbon, and energy between the land, water, and atmosphere. In the field we sample water from the streams, lakes, and soils in the surrounding areas and analyze them to determine their chemical composition. This year (2009) we have additional projects including studying the recovery and chemical/energy fluxes of one of the largest known tundra fires, studying the potential effects from thermokarsts (areas of melting permafrost and slumping/subsidence of the land) on the ecosystem, and investigating the microbial diversity and distribution in lakes and streams across the North Slope.
