20042003 Summary:
This study is to monitor the environmental impacts of disturbances caused by the Canol Project and to measure the effects on permafrost of climate change. The Canol disturbance studies have been underway since the late 1970's and the permafrost studies since 1990. This is year 15 of a 20-year study.
Access during the summer is via the Yukon along the Canol Road through Macmillan Pass. Beyond...
