How slumps are impacting aquatic systems in the Gwich’in Settlement Area
We collected water and bug samples at 36 sites in the Stony Creek watershed in the Gwich’in Settlement Area to test if thaw slumps affect macroinvertebrates in streams. -
Ground temperatures and thermokarst in the North Slave Region
Ground temperatures were monitored to examine evidence of ground temperature warming and to assess the influence of various environmental factors on permafrost conditions. -
Elders’ stories of Jean Marie River: Impacts of permafrost thaw and forest fi...
Due to concerns about permafrost thaw and forest fires, changes in caribou habitat in JMRFN traditional territory were documented using traditional knowledge and scientific... -
Impacts of peatland permafrost thaw on water
This project examined the effect of peatland permafrost thaw on water availability and quality in the Dehcho region. -
Modeling Sahtú region landscape futures
Modelling was performed to forecast the consequences of oil/gas development, mining, transportation, fire, climate change, and permafrost on the Sahtú landscape. -
How will climate warming and permafrost thaw affect fish, bugs, and waterflea...
This study looked at how increasing water temperatures and permafrost thaw will affect fish and what they eat, such as bugs (macroinvertebrates) and waterfleas (zooplankton). -
Thaw slumps, landscape change and critical infrastructure
Drone surveys were used to track the growth of thaw slumps in the Gwich’in, Sahtú and Inuvialuit Settlement regions and to calculate the amount of materials carried downslope. -
Hot then cold: how paired wildfire and permafrost thaw events are shaping bor...
This project looked at how wildfire and permafrost thaw are impacting the recovery of vegetation important to boreal caribou in southern NWT. -
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. -
How does long term exposure to permafrost thaw slumps affect stream health?
From 2010-2014, we sampled the physical habitat and benthic invertebrates (bugs) in the Peel Plateau to assess how permafrost thaw slumps impact stream health. -
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). -

This slideshow provides an overview of an analysis completed to understand the economic costs to communities from damage to infrastructure caused by permafrost thaw. -
The Technical Opportunities & Economic Implications of Permafrost Decay on Pu...
This document summarizes the results of an analysis of the economic costs in all NWT communities which can be attributed to permafrost impacts on community assets. -
State of Knowledge Regarding Permafrost Degradation and Community Infrastruct...
This report provides an overview of the work of the NWTAC's Climate Change Working Group to identify, collect and classify all available information related to permafrost thaw... -
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. -
GNWT Asset Foundation Pile Assessment Reports
This resource contains reports for nine pile foundation assessments completed for GNWT assets in the Beaufort Delta and Sahtu regions of the NWT. -
Coastal and Offshore Permafrost - Rapid Response Assessment
This assessment of coastal and offshore permafrost reviews the state of knowledge, assesses the challenges faced by Arctic peoples, and provides recommendations. -
Permafrost Information Network
PIN is a publically accessible web portal for permafrost-related data, including borehole stratigraphic, geotechnical, ground thermal, and surficial geology data. -
Canada's Changing Climate Report
This report is focused on answering the questions: how has Canada’s climate changed to date, why, and what changes are projected for the future?
