This research investigates thaw slump processes on Peninsula Point, using high-resolution topographic data from drone surveys in 2016, 2017 and 2018.

A historical analysis of coastal erosion with the help of photo data.

In this study we quantify thaw slump enlargement, investigate thermokarst impacts, and map the propagation of effects through hydrological networks draining permafrost terrain.

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.

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.

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.

Using aerial imagery and ground survey data from Pullen Island, NWT, we observe increasing coastal erosion rates between 1947 to 2018.

This study furthers the geomorphological understanding of RTS processes along Arctic coasts, and demonstrates advancements in measurement practices for UAV-SfM data.
