Hydrometeorological, glaciological and geospatial research data from the Peyto Glacier Research Basin in the Canadian Rockies
Federated Research Data Repository / dépôt fédéré de données de recherche
Pradhananga, Dhiraj; Pomeroy, John; Aubry-Wake, Caroline; Munro, D. Scott; Shea, Joseph M.; Demuth, Michael N.; Kirat, Nammy Hang; Menounos, Brian; Mukherjee, Kriti — 2024-04-25 Hydrological, meteorological, glaciological, and geospatial data of the Peyto Glacier Research Basin (PGRB) in the Canadian Rockies are presented. Peyto Glacier has been of great interest to glaciological and hydrological research since the 1960s for the study of mass and water balance during the International Hydrological Decade (IHD, 1965-1974). Intensive studies of the glacier and observations of the glacier mass balance continued after the IHD, when the initial seasonal meteorological stations were discontinued, then restarted as continuous stations in the late 1980s. The corresponding hydrometric observations were discontinued in 1977 and restarted in 2013. Data sets presented here include: high resolution, co-registered DEMs derived from original air photos and LiDAR surveys; hourly off-glacier meteorological data recorded from 1987 to present; precipitation data from Bow Summit; and long-term hydrological and glaciological model forcing datasets derived from bias-corrected reanalysis products. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/

Characterization of high mountain glacier microbiota following inundation with wildfire soot

Esser, Milena; Ankley, Phillip; Aubry-Wake, Caroline; Xie, Yuwei; Baulch, Helen; Hoggarth, Cameron; Hecker, Markus; Hollert, Henner; Giesy, John; Pomeroy, John W; Brinkmann, Markus — 2024-03-27 Glacier ecosystems are shrinking at an accelerating rate due to changes in climate, but also due to increased deposition of soot, which has resulted in darkening of glacier surfaces and subsequent changes in absorption of light, associated heat, and altered microbial communities. In this study, compositions of microbial communities on surfaces of the Athabasca Glacier (Alberta, Canada) were measured by use of DNA metabarcoding. Three matrices, glacier ice, cryoconite hole, and glacial surface sediment, were analyzed. The samples were extracted for DNA and were PCR amplified targeting the hypervariable V3-V4 region of the 16S ribosomal RNA subunit I gene of prokaryotes, as well as the hypervariable V3 region of the 18S ribosomal RNA gene of eukaryotic organisms. Amplicons were sequenced performing a 600-cycle paired-end sequencing run on an Illumina® MiSeq sequencer. This dataset includes the demultiplexed sequencing output, the feature table with taxonomic annotation, and the sample metadata. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/
