摘要冰窖是在多年冻土中建造的一种自然形式的制冷。它们传统上是北极土著人民用来储存收获的野生动物的。最近来自阿拉斯加的报告表明，由于洪水和坍塌等机制，冰窖正在“崩溃”，而洪水和坍塌通常被归因于气候变化。在与当地利益相关者的合作下，我们在阿拉斯加州巴罗安装了五个地窖来记录内部气温。十年的热监测(2005-2015)显示，热变化很小。还进行了一项调查，以确定巴罗所有已知的冰窖位置。总共有71个酒窖被编目和绘制了地图。大量编目的酒窖表明了如果发生大范围的故障，巴罗社区的重要性和巨大的潜在损失。尽管气候变化有相当大的潜力影响冰窖，但沉积物化学、当地水文和城市化也是重要的影响因素。
Abstract Ice cellars are a natural form of refrigeration constructed within permafrost. They are traditionally employed by indigenous Arctic peoples to store harvested wildlife. Recent reports from Alaska indicate that ice cellars are “failing” through mechanisms that include flooding and collapse, which are often attributed to climate change. In cooperation with local stakeholders, we instrumented five cellars to record internal air temperature in Barrow, Alaska. A decade of thermal monitoring (2005–2015) revealed little thermal change. A survey was also conducted to identify all known ice cellar locations in Barrow. A total of seventy‐one cellars were catalogued and mapped. The large number of catalogued cellars shows the importance and great potential loss for the Barrow community if widespread failures were to occur. Although climate change has considerable potential for affecting ice cellars, sediment chemistry, local hydrology, and urbanization are also important impacting factors.
