Summary:
The objective of this project is to collect physical and geophysical measurements quantifying permafrost susceptibility to ABoVE's internationally-available dataset. Researchers can access these data to bolster understanding of environmental processes and the ability to remotely-sense these on a regional scale.
Airborne remote sensing missions from August 2017, 2018, and August of 2019 by NASA'...

Summary:
This research is physically based on a peat plateau and a peat bog, both close to Yellowknife. There are two primary objectives to this research. The first involves quantifying surface energy balances in areas where degradation of peat is pronounced and where it is not. Suprapermafrost water from the degraded and non-degraded sites will be analyzed for nutrients and dissolved organic carbon (DOC) ...

2010 Summary:
The objective of this project is to continue an ongoing long-term monitoring of permafrost temperatures on Banks Island and Mould Bay.
The research team is currently monitoring active layer and permafrost temperatures, active layer soil moisture, air temperature, and snow depth at this site using a datalogger and sensors from Campbell Scientific (Logan, UT). In August, 2010 the research team vi...

Summary:
This project will examine the effect of Great Slave Lake on air and surface temperatures in peatlands near Yellowknife over a period of three years. Air and surface temperatures are components of the climate/permafrost relation, and are used in numerica...

Summary:
Tthe objective of this study is to continue research examining the hydrological and energy budget of small arctic esker lake basin during the spring melt period. The intent of this research is to understand the relationship between the energy budget and changes in soil moisture, rates of evapotranspiration, and changes in water discharge from a small tundra basin underlain by permafrost. Transpo...
