Statement: U.S. Geological Survey's Borehole Temperature Logs from Arctic Alaska, pre-1989
Abstract: This dataset consists of borehole temperature measurements acquired in permafrost regions of arctic Alaska between 1950 and 1988 by the U.S. Geological Survey. A large number of the 87 sites (boreholes) represented in this dataset are deep enough to penetrate the base of permafrost.
