Kavik River, AK, USA

Longitude: -146.3751 W
Elevation: 2526.2 feet (770 meters)
Installed: 2016
Instrumentation at this station includes:
broadband seismometer

Infrasound sensor
Soil temperature probe
D25K was installed in 2016 as part of the temporary USArray project and integrated in 2020 into the permanent Alaska network as part of the National Science Foundation-sponsored Alaska Geophysics Arctic Observing Network project. Wildlife is a challenge: this station has suffered bear damage multiple times. During one site visit, the field team discovered a smaller animal (possbly a wolverine) had damaged the borehole lid, resulting in a sensor frozen in the borehole. D25K is generously hosted by our partners at the Alaska Department of Natural Resources and the North Slope Borough.
