Permafrost ground temperature data synthesis : 2013-2019 Inuvik-Tuktoyaktuk Highway region, Northwest Territories / T. Ensom, S.V. Kokelj, P.D. Morse, and K. Kamo McHugh.: M183-2/8656E-PDF

"The Inuvik to Tuktoyaktuk Highway (ITH) traverses the Anderson Plain and Tuktoyaktuk Coastlands between Inuvik and Tuktoyaktuk. Construction began in the winter of 2014 following long-term environmental, socio-economic, and engineering studies by the Government of Northwest Territories (GNWT; Department of Infrastructure [GNWT – INF] 2017, previously known as the Department of Transportation) and other agencies. Since 2013, ground temperature cables (GTCs) have been installed along the ITH corridor, prior to and following highway construction, primarily in geotechnical boreholes drilled for the purpose of terrain stability analysis. Data collection was initially led by GNWT – INF and now involves additional collaborators including the Northwest Territories Geological Survey (NTGS), Geological Survey of Canada (GSC), Aurora Research Institute (ARI), and Wilfrid Laurier University (WLU). The objective of this report is to synthesize metadata and initial data associated with ground temperature monitoring activities"--Introduction, page 1.
