Permafrost modelling in northern Great Slave region, Northwest Territories, phase 1 : climate data evaluation and 1-d sensitivity analysis / D. W. Riseborough, S.A. Wolfe and C. Duchesne.M183-2/7333E-PDF

"The objective of this study is to explore the basic climate-permafrost relationships in the northern Great Slave region (NGSR) using spatial permafrost models, and to examine the thermal behaviour of the ground at key landscape transitions that contribute to increased infrastructure maintenance and enhanced sensitivity to permafrost degradation. In this preliminary phase, the combined role of climate (air temperature and snow fall / snow cover) and substrate materials (organic and mineral soil, and bedrock) in determining the range of ground thermal regimes of the NGSR is evaluated using one dimensional thermal simulation modelling"--Introduction, page 1.
