The regional focus of this effort has been on the Seward Peninsula of Alaska where many physical features such as warm permafrost, coastal erosion, and a dependence on subsistence economies typify the areas of the state that are most sensitive to climate change. The Seward Peninsula also has several long-term climate and hydrologic monitoring stations, making it possible to detect water-related change in this region. Data Rescue and digitization efforts for the Nx2020 program include digitizing early daily cooperative weather records from Buckland, Deering, Noorvik, Teller, and Wales.
