History of the Fairbanks Permafrost Experiment Station, Alaska
A site on Farmer's Loop Road in Fairbanks, Alaska, was the focus of considerable permafrost-related research from 1945 through the mid-1980s. Many field studies conducted at the "Fairbanks Permafrost Experiment Station (FPES)" included measurements of ground temperatures and depth to the top of permafrost. In light of recent accelerated climate warming in the Arctic, this historical information is of interest, and some key past work is summarized here for the convenience of researchers who may want to access this information. Initial studies conducted on FPES pertained to the influence of several factors on ground temperature distribution and permafrost stability, including ground cover and its removal, building foundations, types of pavement bases, insulated pavements, and various pavement surfaces. Other studies that incorporated a component of ground temperature measurement included measurement of forces exerted on various piles by frost heave and the reduction of frost heave by surcharges. Several research efforts that measured ground temperatures or generated results based on ground temperature data (e.g., frost penetration, depth to permafrost) are summarized here.
