The active layer is the earth overlying permafrost that thaws from the surface and re-freezes each year, and it responds to climate change. Active layer thickness influences vegetation and soil conditions, potentially influencing hunting, forestry, etc. and it’s, thickness, texture and moisture content affects foundations. Changes in the active layer and thaw depth can contribute to slope instabil...

Summary:
The main objectives of the field reconnaissance at landslide sites are as follows:
o To visit landslide sites that exhibit on-going movement in order to qualify the rate of movement;
o To identify main failure mechanisms and factors that contributed to slope failures;
o To validate previous data collected through airphoto interpretation and remote sensing techniques;
o To collect soil samples ...

Summary:
We propose to transport ad install new automatic weather stations by truck, fixed wing and helicopter to three sites in the Fort Simpson area between mid-June through mid July 1998. The automatic weather stations are both solar-powered and battery-powered, and collect and transmit meteorological data for use in weather forecasts and warnings. The weather stations will be used to support the scien...
