SUMMARY:Seminar - 12 February‚ Post-Drainage Evolution of Wolverine Lake\, Old Crow Flats\, Yukon.
DESCRIPTION:Date: Wednesday 12th February 2025Time: 1pm Eastern Time / 11am Mountain Time \n\n\n\nDanielle Chiasson will be presenting Post-Drainage Evolution of Wolverine Lake\, Old Crow Flats\, Yukon. \n\n\n\nThis presentation explores the post-drainage evolution of vegetation succession and basin morphology of a large lake that drained in Old Crow Flats prior to anthropogenic climate warming. Old Crow Flats is a large permafrost lowland undergoing rapid landscape change related to catastrophic lake drainage events and landscape-scale shrubification. While post-drainage conditions have been well documented in modern lake basins\, little is known about the evolution from young basins to old. Danielle will present the results from her radiocarbon dated macrofossil analyses of the margin and centre of a drained lake basin. By reconstructing the history of vegetation succession and its associated permafrost conditions better comparisons can be made of past and present basin evolution. \n\n\n\nZoom details for all our seminars will be posted in our Teams site.

SUMMARY:Seminar - 22 January‚ Permafrost Terrain Disturbance Susceptibility in the Nacho Nyäk Tagé (Stewart River) Watershed\, Yukon.
DESCRIPTION:Date: Wednesday 22nd January 2025Time: 1pm Eastern Time / 11am Mountain Time \n\n\n\nFrederic Brieger will be presenting Permafrost Terrain Disturbance Susceptibility in the Nacho Nyäk Tagé (Stewart River) Watershed\, Yukon. \n\n\n\n\n\nThe Nacho Nyäk Tagé (Stewart River) watershed in the traditional territory of the First Nation of Na-Cho Nyäk Dun (central Yukon) is underlain by extensive discontinuous permafrost and locally highly sensitive to thaw. In addition to impacts from climate change to its ecology\, geomorphology\, and hydrology\, this culturally important area is pressured by mining activities and their environmentally harmful practices. Timely community-led land-use planning is necessary to develop effective management\, conservation\, and adaptation strategies. My project aims to contribute assessments on the distribution and susceptibility towards permafrost terrain disturbances (PTDs) in the watershed to the undergoing land-use planning process. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nA total of 277 PTDs including 80 retrogressive thaw slumps (RTSs) were mapped in satellite imagery to understand the current spatial distribution of thaw-induced geohazards in the watershed. PTDs are indicators of sensitive permafrost terrain that is likely to respond strongly to climate change. RTSs in particular are indicative of thawing ice-rich permafrost and have increased in frequency and activity. Along the banks of Nacho Nyäk Tagé\, they are typically associated with ice-rich glaciolacustrine sediments or tills\, as validated by field observations. \n\n\n\nTerrain susceptibility towards PTDs was modelled using random forest machine learning at a 16 m spatial resolution and revealed distinct spatial patterns related to the physiography and climatic history of the region. Tenfold cross-validation resulted in an average AUROC of 0.89\, indicating high accuracy of model predictions. RTSs are predominantly found on gentle\, northwest to northeast-facing slopes and riverbanks consisting of fine-grained glaciogenic sediments from the late McConnell glaciation. \n\n\n\nZoom details for all our seminars will be posted in our Teams site.

SUMMARY:Seminar - 15 January‚ Characterizing the setting and dynamics of permafrost mass wasting in the central Mackenzie Valley\, Northwest Territories.
DESCRIPTION:Date: Wednesday 15th January 2025Time: 1pm Eastern Time / 11am Mountain Time \n\n\n\nJoseph Young will be presenting Characterizing the setting and dynamics of permafrost mass wasting in the central Mackenzie Valley\, Northwest Territories. \n\n\n\nDate: 15 January 2025Time: 13:00-14:00 Eastern Time \n\n\n\nPermafrost landslides throughout the western Canadian Arctic have increased in magnitude and frequency over the past ca. 20 years in concert with climate drivers of permafrost thaw. This non-linear acceleration has intensified landslide processes and feedbacks\, increasing the diversity of landforms that pose emergent risk and hazards to infrastructure\, water quality\, and soil carbon. This presentation uses field and remote-sensing observations to provide a regional framework to highlight the influence of permafrost setting\, landscape history\, terrain conditions\, and climate drivers on variations in thaw-driven landslide mechanics. We describe a continuum of landslide activity with a process-form model that involves top-down and bottom-up thawing\, intermediated by internal thermal degradation altering slope properties. This includes a novel slope failure style that involves detachment at the base of relatively warm and thin permafrost\, resulting in rapid large-scale landslides in areas previously thaw-stable. Collectively\, regional characterizations of permafrost landslide types and their dominant failure mechanisms are critical in anticipating areas susceptible to thaw-driven slope failure in the future. \n\n\n\nZoom details for all our seminars will be posted in our Teams site.

SUMMARY:Seminar - 18 December‚ Measuring Active Layer Dynamics with InSAR.
DESCRIPTION:Date: Wednesday 18th December 2024Time: 1pm Eastern Time / 11am Mountain Time \n\n\n\nAllison Plourde will be presenting Measuring Active Layer Dynamics with InSAR. \n\n\n\nInSAR (Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar) is a well-established method for measuring small-scale surface deformations across vast regions. However\, the influence of snow cover on InSAR phase limits the comprehensive tracking of seasonal dynamics in permafrost terrain. This study focuses on low-land permafrost near Inuvik\, Northwest Territories\, aiming to enhance understanding of permafrost active layer dynamics\, particularly in winter. To tackle this\, a multifaceted approach combining C-band and X-band InSAR measurements with in-situ data has been developed. Instrumentation at research sites includes inclinometers for vertical surface deformation\, ultrasonic range finders for snow depth\, and corner reflectors as InSAR references. This comprehensive approach aims to contribute valuable insights to the scientific understanding of permafrost monitoring techniques and addresses the impact of snow cover on InSAR measurements in permafrost terrain. \n\n\n\nZoom details for all our seminars will be posted in our Teams site.

SUMMARY:Seminar - 4 December‚ A framework for evaluating thaw settlement.
DESCRIPTION:Date: Wednesday 4th December 2024Time: 1pm Eastern Time / 11am Mountain Time \n\n\n\nZakieh Mohammadi will be presenting A framework for evaluating thaw settlement. \n\n\n\nThaw settlement is a common challenge for infrastructure built on permafrost\, leading to higher maintenance costs and reduced service life. This seminar will discuss the development of essential components for a comprehensive framework aimed at evaluating thaw settlement in permafrost regions—an important resource for northern infrastructure planning. Key highlights include a new qualitative approach for assessing thaw settlement potential using regional and national ground ice maps and inferred soil textures from geological data. A compiled dataset of thaw settlement test results\, which has helped address gaps in thaw strain estimation resources\, will be presented. This dataset enabled the development of new predictive tools\, including methods for estimating thaw strain in coarse-grained sediments based on particle size distribution and for highly organic soils based on water content. Additionally\, relying on this dataset\, the seminar will cover comparative analyses of thaw settlement properties across different soil types and evaluations of existing thaw strain prediction tools. The newly developed tools and approaches\, along with the insights gained\, will inform the creation of the final framework\, contributing to designing resilient infrastructure in permafrost regions. \n\n\n\nZoom details for all our seminars will be posted in our Teams site.

SUMMARY:Seminar - 13 November‚ Modelling the nitrogen cycle of mosses across the boreal forest.
DESCRIPTION:Date: Wednesday 13th November 2024Time: 1pm Eastern Time / 11am Mountain Time \n\n\n\nRose Lefebvre will be presenting Modelling the nitrogen cycle of mosses across the boreal forest.Mosses are common ground cover species in the boreal forest. They can influence different components of the ecosystem\, such as the ground thermal regime due to their insulating properties\, and the nitrogen cycle through biological nitrogen fixation. Mosses are not always included in terrestrial biosphere models\, which are used to make climate projections. The Canadian Land Surface Scheme Including Biogeochemical Cycles (CLASSIC) was modified with the goal of improving productivity simulations across the North American boreal forest. Feather mosses and the nitrogen cycle of mosses were implemented in CLASSIC. The model was validated by comparing observation data against model output at eight sites. The sites range from being near the southern limit of permafrost to being in the continuous permafrost zone. Once validated\, the model was run across the North American boreal forest. \n\n\n\nZoom details for all our seminars will be posted in our Teams site.

SUMMARY:Seminar - 16 October‚ Performance of Drilling Waste Sumps\, Western Arctic Canada.
DESCRIPTION:Date: Wednesday 16th October 2024Time: 1pm Eastern Time / 11am Mountain Time \n\n\n\nRae Landriau will be presenting Performance of Drilling Waste Sumps\, Western Arctic Canada. \n\n\n\nPetroleum resource exploration and development has occurred in the Northwest Territories since the 1920s. Freezing-point depressants\, mainly potassium chloride\, were added to drilling fluids to facilitate drilling into permafrost. Disposal of these fluids was typically in large man-made pits (sumps). Sumps were excavated in permafrost\, with the intention that frozen ground would contain the fluids indefinitely. Climatic warming in northwest Canada has raised the temperature of near-surface permafrost\, increasing the potential for failure of sumps in the region. Using electro-magnetic surveys\, ground conductivity on and off sumps can be collected and analyzed to detect the presence of these fluids and determine if they have migrated. \n\n\n\nZoom details for all our seminars will be posted in our Teams site.

SUMMARY:Seminar - 18th September\, Development and demonstration of a statistical ranking framework for ground temperature models\, tailored towards permafrost environments.
DESCRIPTION:Hannah Macdonell will be presenting Development and demonstration of a statistical ranking framework for ground temperature models\, tailored towards permafrost environments. \n\n\n\nZoom details for all our seminars will be posted in our Teams site. \n\n\n\nModels used to simulate permafrost variables such as ground temperature are important tools for understanding the current state and future conditions of permafrost. However\, few objective methods of establishing model accuracy exist for permafrost environments. Additionally\, models often range in their performance given different conditions such as terrain type or seasonality. Hannah will be presenting her master’s research that looked at (1) identifying patterns in ground-temperature model performance under different testing conditions and (2) developing a quantitative measure of ground-temperature model performance in permafrost zones.

SUMMARY:GeoMontreal
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday\, September 17 – Canadian Geotechnical Colloquium \n\n\n\nMeeting the challenge of geotechnical transportation infrastructure on degrading permafrost \n\n\n\nRyley Beddoe \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbstract \n\n\n\nAs permafrost in the Canadian Arctic undergoes climate driven degradation and changes\, the stress and impact it will have on current and future linear infrastructure networks will be significant. Now more than ever\, it is critical to work towards an understanding of not only why but also how. How will we learn from today to plan and design adaptation and mitigation techniques for resilient infrastructure in the future? How can we develop models that will allow us to ‘dig deeper’ in our understanding? In her current research in this field\, Dr. Riley Beddoe is exploring questions like these\, including: How can numerical modelling techniques allow us to predict future infrastructure risk? What adaptation techniques will limit the impact of permafrost degradation for infrastructure networks? How do these techniques change if the network is a railway? An ice road? A highway? In this presentation\, Dr. Beddoe will present her and her team’s most recent research results aimed at answering these\, and other related arctic geotechnical engineering questions.
