    “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..."

  5. Meet "Grizzly Bear Spring March."

    I found this grizzly trucking along the Alaska Highway, searching for the first green shoots of spring.

    The muted landscape brings the animal's quiet power and steady stride into focus, a small, wild reminder beyond our everyday paths.

  6. THREE JOURNEYS NORTH TO THE ARCTIC SEA:
    Dysentery came in with the wagon trains that followed the #Oregon Trail, as we know. In 1846, measles also crossed the continent to California and infected thousands of Indigenous people. From the Sacramento River these diseases travelled north to Fort Nez Perces #WallaWalla, and then north and west again to the northwest coast, the #Yukon, and beyond. #ThreeJourneysNorth #Journeys nancymargueriteanderson.com/me

  8. 32 communities now!
    And today, for the first time, that includes a territory: #Yukon.

    They join #NewDenver BC, #Brandon MB, and #Shelburne NS — if you live in one of these places, this is happening because your neighbours are deciding their town can be more than headlines about nurse shortages.

  9. Welcome to the Yukon Data Fortress—the digital gold rush of the Digital Klondike! Brave the frozen chaos for lost data and cryptocurrency riches. Will you strike it rich or face peril? 🥶💰

  10. A Tlingit woman had a pivotal role in starting the Klondike Gold Rush. But Shaaw Tláa, also known as Kate Carmack, has been overlooked in historical accounts compared to the men she helped keep alive, according to her relatives.

  11. @jfmezei Oh look they have finally published the fall/winter 2023 newsletter for the #Dempster# fibre line. I wrote to them on May 11 to ask about the status of the project as there hadn't been an update for over a year. No response, but they did publish another file.

    It says that think that can finish next year. Godspeed!

  12. Leading up the Coronation, I'll share various created images of King Charles III.

    In 2001, then-Prince Charles visited the Yukon for the very first time, spending one day in Whitehorse.

    Here he is, as a Klondike gold prospector circa-1898ish.

  13. Katie Maloney spoke about the 950 million year old algae fossils from the Wernecke Mountains, Yukon Territory, Canada. She's reconstructing the biosphere and the spread of eukaryotes at a time before shells or any other hard parts evolved.

  14. Today in 1874, Robert W. Service is born. Living in the Yukon and inspired tales of the Klondike Gold Rush, he wrote the poems The Shooting of Dan McGrew & The Cremation of Sam McGee. He later wrote Songs of a Sourdough.
    He has been called The Bard of the Yukon.

  15. Today in 1897, a dance hall girl accidently starts a fire at a dance hall in Dawson City. That same girl accidently starts another fire on Oct. 14, 1898 that destroys the post office, bank and two saloons.

    I'm beginning to think they weren't accidents
