Poulin, Brett

Brett Poulin is a researcher and author with expertise in the field of Arctic ecosystems and permafrost thaw. He has published numerous articles on the topic, including one that documents the emergence of orange streams in Alaska's Brooks Range due to metal mobilization from thawing permafrost. This phenomenon is a significant concern for food security and water quality in Arctic river networks.

Alaskan Rivers Turning Orange: Unraveling the Mystery of Thawing Permafrost and Its Implications

Broke On: Tuesday, 21 May 2024 Alaskan rivers turn orange due to thawing permafrost, releasing minerals like zinc, copper, cadmium, and iron into the water. This seasonal phenomenon poses risks to drinking water and aquatic life. Researchers from NPS, USGS, and UC Davis study its long-term implications as permafrost thawing accelerates in Arctic regions.
