Great first day at North Yukon Permafrost Conf Canadian Permafrost Association Insightful intro’s from 3 FNs (Tr’ondëk Hwëch’in, Na-Cho Nyak Dun,Carcross-Tagish) + p.m. of field trips. Here’s Toni along the Top-of-the World Highway showing landslides, thawing peatlands and unglaciated alpine valleys
That’s a wrap for the North Yukon Permafrost Conf Canadian Permafrost Association Excellent field trip duane froese covering history of Yukon River and Klondike Icefields, with Ice Age steppe bison and horse fossils to boot!
duane froese's group (feat @WedgeIceQc Jurjen van der Sluijs) have been studying the changing permafrost conditions in the central Mackenzie Valley, NWT. They presented a synthesis of studies covering degrading dendritic peat plateaus and permafrost mass-wasting in the river valley.
Our Esri Canada story map summarizing some of our efforts monitoring permafrost thaw across the northwestern Arctic is based on a lot of remote sensing data (#drone, #LiDAR, #Landsat/Sentinel). Together these data help us better understand the what, when, where, and why #SciComm
