Morse (compiler). [Ottawa] : Natural Resources Canada, c2017. 60 p. Open file ; 8192 "Northwest Territories Geological Survey, NWT open report 2017-10." "Presently, no comprehensive view exists of the relations between permafrost and hydrogeology in varying circumpolar landscapes. Similarly, the responses with climate change remain poorly understood. These are critical knowledge gaps, as climate change impacts on permafrost are likely to alter hydrologic cycles, groundwater flow networks, and surface water supplies in the North. Communities, governments, regulators, industry, and academics are noting process changes in the North. Regulators and proponents need guidance on how to scope groundwater and permafrost issues as they affect economic development (e.g., early closure of De Beer’s Snap Lake diamond mine due to larger-than-expected flow of groundwater in the mine's underground workings). Northern capacity to address issues facing Northern society is limited, so knowledge must come through extended collaboration and engagement. On 14 November 2016, a meeting of 27 government, academic, and industry researchers and practitioners was held to address these issues. A plan was developed to scope out the State of Knowledge on permafrost and hydrogeology interactions within continuous and discontinuous permafrost, emphasizing potential alterations with climate change”--Executive summary, p. 3. gccst Hydrogeology gccst Permafrost gccst Conferences Morse, Peter Douglass, 1975- Canada.
