Toolik Field Station

IAB's Toolik Field Station, located in the northern foothills of the Brooks Range in northern Alaska on the southeast shore of Toolik Lake (68掳37'N, 149掳36'W, elevation 720 m, 254.3 km above the Arctic Circle), is a world-renowned Arctic climate change research station. This location affords access to three major physiographic provinces, including the Brooks Range, the Arctic Foothills, and the Arctic Coastal Plain. The Station also serves as a base camp for researchers working along the ecological transect from tundra to taiga to boreal forest along the Dalton Highway, from Prudhoe Bay to Fairbanks, Alaska.
