Report on 2017 field activities and collection of ground-thermal and active-layer data in the Mackenzie corridor, Northwest Territories / S.L. Smith, J. Chartrand, and C. Duchesne.: M183-2/8492E-PDF
"This report presents a summary of field activities conducted in 2017 in the Mackenzie corridor Northwest Territories (NWT). Air temperature, ground-thermal and active-layer data acquired from permafrost monitoring sites visited in 2017 are provided in graphical and tabular format. Ground temperature records for the 2007-2017 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 (2007-09). 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 design of northern infrastructure. This report will be distributed to community organizations and stakeholders in the study region to provide an update on field activities"--Abstract, page i.
