活动层网络（ALN）于2009年启动，是育空地区河流部落间流域理事会（YRITWC）和美国地质调查局（USGS）（https：sites.google.com/a/yritwc.org/ active-layer-network/？pli=1）.*活动层是位于永久冻土之上的土壤层，夏季解冻，秋季再次冻结。通过测量夏末最大融化时活动层的深度，我们能够更好地了解气候变暖对永久冻土的影响。头两年（2009-2010年）的目标是为整个育空地区河流域安装第一个活性层监测网络，并确定在育空地区河流域内维持和发展该网络的可行性。2009年8月和9月，该项目启动，安装了12个ALN电网站点。2010年，又安装了8个站点，完成了整个YRB 20个站点的全流域网络（图1）。
The Active Layer Network (ALN) was launched in 2009 as a cooperative project between the Yukon River Inter-Tribal Watershed Council (YRITWC) and the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) (https://sites.google.com/a/yritwc.org/ active-layer-network/?pli=1).* The active layer is the layer of soil above the permanently frozen ground that thaws during the summer months and freezes again in the autumn. By measuring the depth of the active layer in late summer at the time of maximum thaw, we are able to better understand the effects of a warming climate on permafrost. The goal of the first two years (2009–2010) was to install the first active layer monitoring network for the entire Yukon River Basin (YRB) and to determine the feasibility of sustaining and evolving the network within the YRB. In August and September 2009, the project was initiated and 12 ALN grid sites were installed. In 2010, 8 more sites were installed, completing a basin-wide network of 20 sites across the YRB (fig. 1).
