ArcticNet Phase 3 Projects (2011-2015) / Permafrost 1

Permafrost and Climate Change in Northern Coastal Canada Summary

Project Leaders Allard, Michel Pollard, Wayne This project analyzes how landscapes, ecosystems and human infrastructures are affected by the terrain degradations that take place as permafrost is affected by climate change and as economic activity expand over the land. Permafrost is the foundation upon which northern ecosystems and communities rest and upon which infrastructure is built. The study of ground ice in the permafrost requires knowledge of surficial geology, periglacial landforms and the heritage of past climate conditions and geological processes; it is done with a variety of techniques which include remote sensing, drilling, laboratory analyses, geocryological characterization and GIS applications. Ultimately an assessment of ground ice at a much better resolution that what currently exists will have to be made to support the development and the environmental safeguard of the Arctic. This project already made continuing and important progresses toward that goal. As a physical component of ecosystems, the sensitivity of permafrost is regulated by numerous factors, including air and soil temperatures, snow cover, surface and subsurface hydrology, organic soil layers, vegetation and snow cover, all factors that are regulated by the climate and are themselves affected by change. In this project, changes to the landscape as a result of the changing permafrost temperatures are monitored, including the development of landforms such as landslides, changes in vegetation patterns, modification of drainage patterns, coastal erosion, release of carbon and production of greenhouse gases. In 2014, our research covered those topics, both as fundamental and applied research at many key sites across the Arctic, particularly in southern Baffin island (Iqaluit airport), on Bylot Island (thermo-erosion and ecological changes), Ward Hunt island (water tracks and ecology), Hershel Island (retrogressive landslides), Eureka (massive ground ice, ice wedges and landslides), Beaver Creek (Alaska Highway), Salluit (road engineering and ecosystem respiration), Umiujaq (snow-vegetation-permafrost dynamics). Mapping of potential for construction on permafrost was advanced in eight communities of Nunavik (Kangiqsualujjuaq, Kuujjuaq, Aupaluk, Quaqtaq, Kangiqsujjuaq, Ivujivik, Inukjuak and Umiujaq). Our mapping and predictions of ground temperature changes in Arctic communities are used to formulate adaptation strategies and for planning land management. The project also incorporates a major education and outreach initiative for training Inuit community managers on permafrost principles and for producing innovative computer-based pedagogical material for schools for training the upcoming generation. In the coming years, funding permitting, more impetus shall be put on supporting the development of Inuit communities and the maintenance of infrastructure over permafrost.
