Kluane Lake Research Station - Canada

KLRS is located at the shore of Kluane Lake in the southwest corner of the Yukon Territory, Canada. The study area traverses First Nations Traditional Territories, public land, and the Kluane National Park and Reserve. The National Park is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. KLRS has hosted a wide variety of disciplines over the last 50 years. The main projects have been related to geology, glaciology and geophysics in the ice-field region, high-altitude physiology on Mt. Logan, a massive collaborative project investigating interactions within the boreal forest over several decades, climate modelling, and remote sensing throughout the region.

The Arctic Institute of North America also maintains a major data base called ASTIS and publishes the quarterly journal “Arctic”.
