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... -
