NWT Thermokarst Mapping Collective
The NWT Thermokarst Mapping Collective project developed a methodology to generate NWT-wide thermokarst and permafrost feature inventory maps. -
Permafrost thaw slumping and impacts to łuk dagaii (broad whitefish) habitat ...
We combined Gwich’in and scientific knowledge to map łuk dagaii (broad whitefish, Coregonus nasus) habitat in the Peel River Watershed at risk of being affected by thaw slumping. -
Aquatic Ecosystems in the Fort Good Hope Area as Indicators of Environmental ...
We looked at how aquatic bacteria and their functions are changing due to various landscape pressures in the Sahtù Settlement Area (e.g. permafrost thaw, wildfire, land use). -
Freshwater Seepage Into Sediments of the Shelf, Shelf Edge, and Continental S...
The continental shelf of the Canadian Beaufort Sea is investigated to see if it is causing decomposition of relict offshore subsea permafrost and gas hydrates. -
A Long-Term, 1-km Resolution Daily Meteorological Dataset for Modeling and Ma...
This study developed a long-term (1901–2100), 1-km resolution daily meteorological dataset (Met1km) for modeling and mapping permafrost at high spatial resolutions in Canada. -
Polar Continental Shelf Program Science Report 2019
This report summarizes ongoing research projects and associated fieldwork occurring in the Arctic and supported by the Polar Continental Shelf Program, much of it climate change... -
Long-term ice-rich permafrost coast sensitivity to air temperatures and storm...
Using aerial imagery and ground survey data from Pullen Island, NWT, we observe increasing coastal erosion rates between 1947 to 2018. -
Arctic coastal erosion: UAV-SfM data collection strategies for planimetric an...
This study furthers the geomorphological understanding of RTS processes along Arctic coasts, and demonstrates advancements in measurement practices for UAV-SfM data. -
Continuous Dynamics of Dissolved Methane Over 2 Years and its Carbon Isotopes...
We studied dissolved methane dynamics within a small Mackenzie River Delta lake, autonomously and continuously collecting water samples for two years at various depths. -
A multiproxy database of western North America Holocene paleoclimate records
We present a database of western North American Holocene paleoclimate records from 184 terrestrial and marine sites, spanning at least 4000 of the last 12,000 years. -
Impacts of Snow on Soil Temperature Observed Across the Circumpolar North
Research on how soil and air temperature is affected by snow. -
Climate Sensitivity of High Arctic Permafrost Terrain Demonstrated by Widespr...
This paper shows that climate-driven thaw of hilltop ice-wedge networks is rapidly transforming uplands across Banks Island in the Canadian Arctic Archipelago. -
2017 Korea-Canada-U.S.A. Beaufort Sea Research Program Report
Multiple research activities were undertaken to investigate the geology, permafrost and gas hydrate conditions of the outer shelf and upper slope of the Beaufort Sea to assess... -
Contemporary glacier area changes in the Ragged Range, Northwest Territories
This is research on the Ragged Range glaciers in NWT. Approximately 110 km² of glacier cover has been lost over the last 35 years. -
