Utqiaġvik NEON - United States of America

The Utqiagvik field site (BARR) is a relocatable site within NEON's Domain 18: Tundra. BARR is located at the northernmost tip of the domain near Utqiagvik (or Barrow), a small city on the northern shore of Alaska with roughly 4,200 inhabitants. Indigenous I?at tribes still engage in traditional hunting and fishing activities, including annual Bowhead whale hunts. There are no roads to the area; all personnel and supplies must be flown in.

Located three hundred miles north of the Arctic Circle, the Utqiagvik field site landscape is representative of the polygon tundra and lake systems across the northern extent of the North Slope of Alaska. Utqiagvik spans 50 square kilometers and includes a 26ft tall meteorological flux tower and nearby soil sensors. NEON scientists also collect field observations throughout the field site.
