This paper documents the first comprehensive inventory of thermokarst and thaw-sensitive terrain indicators for a 2 million km2 region northwestern Canada. is accomplished through Thermokarst Mapping Collective (TMC), research collaborative to systematically permafrost thaw sensitivity by mapping aerial assessments across Northwest Territories (NT), The increase in NT-based capacity has fostered science leadership collaboration with government, academic, community researchers enable project...
Current permafrost models in Canadian boreal forests are generally of low spatial resolution as they cover regional or continental scales. This study aims to understand the viability creating a temperature at top (TTOP) model on local scale wetland environment Whatì, Northwest Territories from short-term field-collected data. The utilizes independent variables vegetation, topographic position index, and elevation, with dependent being ground surface collected 60 nodes 1.5 m air 10 stations....
Abstract For remote communities in the discontinuous permafrost zone, access to distribution maps for hazard assessment is limited and more general products are often inadequate use local‐scale planning. In this study we apply established analytical methods illustrate a time‐ cost‐efficient method conducting community‐scale mapping community of Whatì, Northwest Territories, Canada. We ran binary logistic regression (BLR) using combination field data, digital surface model‐derived variables,...
