Effects of permafrost disturbances on terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, Banks Island, NWT, Canada
Principal Investigator: Lacelle, Denis
Licensed Year(s): 2015
Summary: Thaw slumps are one of the most dramatic thermokarst features in permafrost regions. The number of thaw slumps on Banks Island has more than tripled in recent decades and it is likely that this change is altering terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. This multidisciplinary research project investigates the short- (1960s-present day) and long-term (Medieval Warm Period to today) impacts of permafrost...

Permafrost Disturbance Susceptibility Mapping
Principal Investigator: Lamoureux, Scott F
Licensed Year(s): 2014
Summary: The goal is to produce permafrost disturbance susceptibility maps for the region surrounding Sachs Harbour identifying areas with low, moderate and high susceptibility to future permafrost disturbance. A 25 km radius around Sachs Harbour will be systematically mapped to identify and map permafrost disturbances. GPS will be used to map the perimeter of identified permafrost disturbances. Soil s...
