    “Permafrost soils are particularly vulnerable to climate change. To assess and improve estimations of carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) budgets it is necessary to accurately map soil carbon and nitrogen in the permafrost region. In particular, soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks have been predicted and mapped by many studies from local to pan-Arctic scales. Several studies have been carried out at the Canadian Beaufort Sea coast, though no regional maps of terrestrial carbon stocks based on spatial modelling has been conducted yet. This study combines available field data from the Canadian Yukon coastal plain and uses it to map regional SOC and N stocks using the machine learning algorithm random forest and environmental variables based on remote sensing data. [The authors] developed models using the data for the entire region and separate models for the coastal mainland area and Qikiqtaruk Herschel Island. Each model was used to map SOC and N stocks for its respective area. [They] assessed the performance of the different random forest models by using crossvalidation. [They] further assessed model results using the Area of Applicability (AOA) method and the quantile regression forest approach, comparing the results and discussing their implications within the context of both methods. [They] explore[d] local differences in soil properties and how soil data distribution across the region affects the accuracy of the predictions of SOC and N stocks..."

  2. The shorter days mean a concentration of light effects and the start of the setting sun is seen fairly soon after noon. This photograph taken at 13:17 last Sunday. Actual sunset was about 2 hours away but there is this golden glow of the closing day already around…

  3. What Exactly Is The [NOAA] Sea Level Calculator And Why Would You Want To Use It?

    “It allows you to:
    👉 Understand sea level change scenarios and visualize potential impacts on a map
    👉 Explore water level and flood frequency trends
    👉 See the top 10 flood events for your location
    👉 Determine what time of the year your community is most likely to experience a flood..”

  5. I had a fantastic sail adventure today. Took my friend, Nadene, out for her first Martin 16 sailing experience. She loved it & took a ton of photos. We had fab winds on the waters today & I got to do a lot of keeling 😀 Fun time, on the ocean, on a gorgeous day!

  6. It was really foggy out on the ocean today!
    Almost no winds until we reached mouth of the bay. I was happy to take Mom out for her very first sailing experience ☺️ She found it to be very relaxing. We saw some seals, mergansers, few American coots & a couple of buffleheads.
    Back at RVYC on August 22.

  7. I had a great first solo #sailing session this afternoon. Winds were tricky today. Winds changed directions 5 times in 2 hours. Lots of adjustments on my sails today.

    I got yacht club approval to take my Mom out as my passenger, for her very first sailing adventure, tomorrow morning! I'm pretty stoked about that. Mom has never been in any sailboat before! I'm not taking her very far because she gets scared of open ocean (while I love open ocean!). It will be very nice to take my Mom out for her first sailing experience 😊⛵️

  8. Saving some time by getting towed out to sailing practice course markers, by one of the #RVYC safety/coach #ZodiacBoats.

    I'll upload brief clip of sailing back to marina after practicing some demo race course navigation, soon. Had some nice winds during my first solo adaptive #sailing session today ⛵️😊
