Ground-ice modelling of the Kivalliq region, Nunavut / H.B. O'Neill, S.A. Wolfe, C. Duchesne, R.J.H. Parker, R. Frappier, and A.-M. Leblanc.M183-2/9262E-PDF

"The Kivalliq region, Nunavut, is an area with significant proposed infrastructure development, including a 1,200 km long hydroelectric/fibre optic link from southern Canada. Knowledge of ground ice conditions is important to assess potential impacts of climate change and permafrost thaw on existing and planned infrastructure. However, limited information on ground ice exists for this region. The Geological Survey of Canada (GSC) developed updated ground ice mapping at the national scale for Canada and tested the modelling framework at regional scales using more detailed surficial geology mapping from Canadian Geoscience Maps (CGMs)"--Abstract, page 1.
