Information to be Derived: Active Layer Thickness measurements and high resolution ground surface elevations coincident with electrical resistivity transects collected during FAN 2014-624_FA.

Summary of Activity and Data Gathered: GPS raw data on FAD; Acquired ground surface elevations and active layer thicknesses along resistivity transects and elsewhere; ground control points for coincident acquisition of aerial photography, and soil and water samples. Retrieved images from 2 time lapse cameras (outfall pipe and snow fence) and redeployed 2 cameras on snow fence.
