3% of the total continental surface of the pan-arctic, with densities of
surface waters exceeding 10% in shield bedrock and low slope, deltaic
environments dominated by lakes. Carbon emissions from high latitude lakes can
exceed 340 Tg-C yr^-1, and release upwards of 16.5 Tg-C-CH₄yr^-1.
This represents one of the largest natural sources of atmospheric methane from
the Arctic-boreal region. Field studies show that the input of carbon to lakes
requires hydrologic connectivity, whether across the surface or within the
subsurface. Significant uncertainty exists regarding the exchange of water in
low slope/low precipitation environments. These characteristics make defining
where uplands and wetlands end and lakes begin difficult, and highlight an
often overlooked component of ecosystem carbon flows, the terrestrial-aquatic
interface. Currently the magnitude and extent of Temperate and Arctic-Boreal
seasonally inundated land remains unknown. The research conducted by this
post-doctoral scientist will test the hypothesis that the region of inundated
soils are hotspots for the cycling of carbon and that these ecosystems
represent a component of the landscape highly vulnerable to both land cover and
climate change. Through this research position, the postdoctoral scientist will
conduct extensive field studies as part of ongoing collaborative research
efforts through the USGS and the NASA ABoVE project, to trace carbon from
terrestrial through wetland to open water environments across northern
latitudes. </span></p>
