Below are the results of the photographic transect project of northwest Alaska, providing access to the photographs, videos, flight routes, and associated data, that were taken during July 16, 17, and 18, 2013. The images depict land cover types as a baseline for measuring future change and to complement other existing grid-based sample photography of the region.
Nadir and oblique images and video were taken of the arctic landscape during low altitude transects conducted from small aircraft over the National Park Service’s Arctic Network (Bering Land Bridge National Preserve, Cape Krusenstern National Monument, Gates of the Arctic National Park and Preserve, Kobuk Valley National Park, and Noatak National Preserve) and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s Selawik National Wildlife Refuge in northwest Alaska.
