52nd Yellowknife Geoscience Forum
novembre 26 – novembre 28
Icebreaker: November 25, 2024
The 2024 Yellowknife Geoscience Forum will provide an in-person setting for delegates from industry, academia, and government to exchange information on Resource Exploration, Mining Activities, and Geoscience Research in Canada’s North. The Technical Program will showcase the latest geoscience‐related research in the territories and encompass a variety of Technical Sessions.
Permafrost
Chair: Chair: Ashley Rudy (GNWT-NTGS) & Niels Weiss (GNWT-NTGS)
Permafrost thaw is the main cause of climate-driven landscape change in the north and has a major effect on ecosystems and infrastructure. This session will showcase research that contributes to understanding the distribution of thaw-sensitive terrain across the north. This is critical to predict the future state of the environment and water resources of the Northwest Territories and for climate change adaptation planning. Data collection, processing, storage, and dissemination strategies are essential to effectively address permafrost thaw-related issues. This session will feature monitoring efforts across the NWT, data management and database development, and strategies to coordinate the workflows. We invite northerners, data generators, data users, and other permafrost practitioners to contribute to this session.
