Description :
This paper reports borehole temperature measurements made in permafrost over a period of 2 decades (1985, 1988, and 2004) at sites on Barter Island and in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (Arctic NWR). These measurements indicate that the century-long warming documented for the central and western Arctic has also occurred in the region near Barter Island and in the northern Arctic NWR.
