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. -
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. -
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? -
Polar Continental Shelf Program Science Report 2019

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... -
