Kluane Lake Research Station (KLRS) is located near the Alaska Highway, 220 km northwest of Whitehorse, Yukon, on the south shore of Kluane Lake. The research station is one of the most valued, celebrated, & well-used highlights of the Arctic Institute. The extreme elevation difference between Kluane Lake & the crest of the St. Elias Mountains establishes a strong gradient in environmental attributes & results in a remarkable diversity of research opportunities within a small geographical area. This diversity is reflected in the unique scientific legacy of KLRS. Since 1961, when the base was founded, it has fostered research projects spanning the disciplines of glaciology, geomorphology, geology, biology, botany, zoology, hydrology, limnology, climatology, high-altitude physiology, anthropology & archaeology.Research papers catalogued Research projects based at KLRS have resulted in about 1500 publications, many of which are described in the Kluane Lake Research Station Bibliography. more...
