The primary goal of the TLO is to gain a better understanding of this internationally recognized ecosystem during a period of rapid environmental change in the Arctic. This project is a multi-year, multi-cooperator, and multi-disciplinary effort that will focus on Teshekpuk Lake and its surrounding watershed to assess the past, present, and future response to climate change and human pressure. Key project partners include the North Slope Borough Department of Wildlife Management, Alfred Wegener Institute, B-Geo, Bureau of Land Management, and USGS. Focusing on development of the TLO will provide a forum for cross discipline information exchange, maximize data collection and synthesis efforts, and prepare land and resource managers for the challenging decisions they will face in the coming years to decades as a result of climate and land use change in the region.
