Sensitivity of the carbon cycle in the Arctic to climate change
This review is designed to clarify key uncertainties and vulnerabilities in the response of the carbon cycle of the Arctic to ongoing climatic change. -
Climate and permafrost effects on the chemistry and ecosystems of High Arctic...
We present a unique thirteen-year record (2003–16) of the physiochemical properties of two High Arctic lakes and show that water quality has significantly changed. -
Report On 2017 Field Activities and Collection of Ground-thermal and Active-l...
This report provides a summary of field activities, and air temperature, ground-thermal and active-layer data acquired in 2017 are provided in graphical and tabular format. -
Permafrost is warming at a global scale
Here we use a global data set of permafrost temperature time series to evaluate temperature change across permafrost regions since 2007. -
New Ground Ice Maps For Canada Using A Paleogeographic Modelling Approach
New modelling incorporating paleogeography is presented in this paper to depict the distribution of three ground ice types (relict ice, segregated ice, and wedge ice) in... -
Permafrost Degradation Subarctic Canadian Shield
Recent ground temperature and observational data for lithalsas are examined in the context of an inventory of thermokarst ponding between 1945 and 2005. In presentation format. -
2023 Arctic Report Card
The 2023 Arctic Report Card provides an overview of the vital signs of the Arctic's land, ocean, and air, and relevant newsworthy reports on emerging issues in the Arctic. -
The Canadian Water Resource Vulnerability Index to Permafrost Thaw
This study developed and applied a framework for assessing the vulnerability of pan-Canadian water resources to permafrost thaw. -
Pathways for Ecological Change in Canadian High Arctic Wetlands Under Rapid T...
Paleoecological techniques are used to investigate how Canadian High Arctic wetlands responded to a mid-twentieth century increase in growing degree days. -
Summary of 2018 Mackenzie Delta Permafrost Field Campaign
This is a study monitoring permafrost thaw due to a warming climate, based around the Beaufort Delta region. -
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. -
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.
