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. -
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. -
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. -
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. -
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. -
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. -
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... -
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.
