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. -
Recovery of boreal caribou habitat after forest fires
This study examined the impacts of forest fires on the recovery of boreal caribou habitat. -
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. -
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... -
Relative sea-level projections for Canada based on the IPCC Fifth Assessment ...
This report provides national and regional maps and geospatial data files of projected relative sea-level change across Canada for 2006 and every decade from 2010 to 2100. -
A multiproxy database of western North America Holocene paleoclimate records
We present a database of western North American Holocene paleoclimate records from 184 terrestrial and marine sites, spanning at least 4000 of the last 12,000 years. -
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. -
2017 Korea-Canada-U.S.A. Beaufort Sea Research Program Report
Multiple research activities were undertaken to investigate the geology, permafrost and gas hydrate conditions of the outer shelf and upper slope of the Beaufort Sea to assess... -
Contemporary glacier area changes in the Ragged Range, Northwest Territories
This is research on the Ragged Range glaciers in NWT. Approximately 110 km² of glacier cover has been lost over the last 35 years. -

This compendium addendum provides a summary of the most significant academic literature about climate change in the NWT, that has been funded by the CIMP program. -
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... -
Mass balance results from the Cordillera Glacier-Climate Observing Network
This open file presents mass balance data from glaciers in the Cordillera Glacier-Climate Observing network for the 2015 and 2016 balance years -
