Report on 2018 field activities and collection of ground-thermal and active-layer data in the Mackenzie corridor, Northwest Territories / C. Duchesne, J. Chartrand, and S.L. Smith.M183-2/8707E-PDF

"This report presents a summary of field activities conducted in 2018 in the Mackenzie corridor, north of Wrigley, N.W.T. Air temperature, ground-thermal and active-layer data acquired from permafrost monitoring sites visited in 2018 are provided in graphical and tabular format. Ground temperature records for the 2007–2018 period are also presented and indicate that permafrost is generally warming throughout the corridor and for a majority of sites, permafrost is currently warmer than the baseline established during the International Polar Year (2007–2009). The data presented provide essential baseline information that can be utilized by stakeholders and others for various purposes such as land-management activities, regulatory processes and planning of northern infrastructure"--Abstract.
