Mapping and monitoring activities in the Pingo Canadian Landmark, Tuktoyaktuk, NWT, 2004-2005 / G.K. Manson, J. Bastick. : M183-2/5326E-PDF
"Located on the Tuktoyaktuk Peninsula adjacent to Kugmallit Bay, the 16.4 km2 Pingo Canadian Landmark (PCL) was identified as an area of national significance by Parks Canada in 1997. The PCL is jointly managed by Parks Canada, the lnuvialuit Land Administration, and various Tuktoyaktuk community organisations for the purposes of developing tourism in the vicinity of Tuktoyaktuk while maintaining the ecological integrity and stability of the landforms in the PCL. The Memorandum of Agreement between joint management organisations includes commitments to monitor elevation changes of Split and lbyuk Pingos and the erosion and impacts of visitors on pingo slopes. As part of Natural Resources Canada Earth Science Sector's Information for Other Government Departments project of the program Reducing Canada's Vulnerability to Climate Change, the Geological Survey of Canada (GSC) is collaboratiing with Parks Canada (PC) in monitoring landforms and coastal processes in the PCL. This monitoring focusses particularly on the morphologic mapping component and detection of changes in pingos and other coastal features, leading to an evaluation of landform stability. This document summarises activities to date and presents preliminary results with recommendations for future collaborative monitoring"--Intro., p. 1.
