The Influence of Thermokarst Subsidence on Peatland and the Role of Climatic Change within the Discontinuous Permafrost Zone in the Southern Mackenzie Valley
Principal Investigator: Spivey, Diane
Licensed Year(s): 1988
Summary: Diane Spivey is interested in knowing why there is less permafrost now in peatbogs. First, she will be mapping areas that have thawed and collapsed. Then, she will be looking and sampling vegetation to see if the vegetation has been disturbed so that it no longer insulates the permafrost as well. Last, she will look to see how well peat retains heat and acts as an insulator. She will use this i...
