Massive Ice Control on Permafrost Coast Erosion and Sensitivity
A historical analysis of coastal erosion with the help of photo data. -
Thaw-driven mass wasting couples slopes with downstream systems, and effects ...
In this study we quantify thaw slump enlargement, investigate thermokarst impacts, and map the propagation of effects through hydrological networks draining permafrost terrain. -
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. -
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. -
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. -
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. -
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. -
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. -
