ORNL DAAC Data Release - Potential Areas of Gas Seepage Detected by SAR in Lakes near Fairbanks, Alaska
Posted: Fri Jun 27, 2025 12:19 pm America/New_York
ORNL DAAC recently released a new ABoVE dataset by Tyler, N. et al (2025):
Potential Areas of Gas Seepage Detected by SAR in Lakes near Fairbanks, Alaska
This dataset includes maps and locations of potential gas seepage in lakes within the immediate and surrounding area around Fairbanks, Alaska, a region underlain by discontinuous permafrost and characterized by thermokarst lake formation.
Figure 1. Examples of SAR-detected areas of potential perennial ebullition (orange) in several lakes (black) within the Goldstream Valley area of Fairbanks indicate possible locations of methane-rich gas (background: 60 m NED Hillshade, USGS, 2018).
