Published purpose
The Thermokarst Mapping Collective project is led by Northwest Territories Geological Survey in partnership with Aurora Research Institute. This project maps detailed classifications of thermokarst and permafrost thaw features across the Northwest Territories landscape for dynamic change monitoring. Investment and collaboration in this study supports a future opportunity to scale up and apply the study design concept to Nunavut and Nunavik for large-scale climate change monitoring across Canada's North, so as to improve Canadian models to predict the effects of climate change and to enhance mitigation and adaptation.
