Hot off the R-press! This winter's ice thickness on Toolik Lake. Any bets as to when it'll be ice-free?

Thanks to Amanda Young @ubetula.bsky.social and Toolik's hardy year-round Spatial and Environmental Data Center team.

As anyone who's spent time at Toolik over the past 50 years knows, it's much more than a research site. Embedded within sample collections & lab analyses are moments to gain confidence, to develop a connection with the land, to start a lifelong passion. givingday.alaska.edu/amb/toolik
