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). -
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. -
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. -
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. -
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. -
Distributions of degraded and intact lithalsas, North Slave region, Northwest...
This report provides an inventory of current and old lithalsas in a representative study area between Behchoko and Yellowknife in the Northwest Territories. -
Modelling Ground Ice In Permafrost Using A Paleogeographic Approach
This is an infographic that shows how new models depict ground ice in permafrost in Canada. The models use a new approach to calculate ground ice abundance in a geographic... -
Remote Permafrost Terrain Mapping, Grays Bay - Yellowknife Corridor, Northwes...
This poster presents permafrost terrain mapping of the Grays Bay - Yellowknife Corridor. -
Ground ice map of Canada
This Open File presents national-scale mapping of ground ice conditions in Canada. -
Active layer variability and change in the Mackenzie Valley, Northwest Territ...
Active layer thicknesses from sites along a transect through the Mackenzie Valley, Northwest Territories, were analyzed to explore variation in thickness within and between... -
The Northwest Territories Thermokarst Mapping Collective: a northern-driven m...
This paper documents the first comprehensive inventory of thermokarst and thaw-sensitive terrain indicators for a 2 million km2 region of northwestern Canada. -
Permafrost thaw induces short-term increase in vegetation productivity in nor...
Active layer thickness data paired with Landsat data were used to quantify the impacts of changing permafrost conditions on vegetation productivity in the NWT. -
The Role of Massive Ice and Exposed Headwall Properties on Retrogressive Thaw...
This research investigates thaw slump processes on Peninsula Point, using high-resolution topographic data from drone surveys in 2016, 2017 and 2018.
