The network recently hosted a fieldwork training event at the Fort Montmorency research station of Universit\u00e9 Laval.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first day was packed with exciting and valuable sessions, from navigation training by Pia Blake <\/a>to hands-on installation and location of ground temperature sensors by Galina Jonat<\/a> et Olivia Meier-Legault<\/a>, followed by discussions about field safety and situations led by Tristan MacLean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The navigation session started off with everyone creating 3D models of their topographic maps, followed by outdoor location of waypoints, on and off the trails, using maps, compass and GPS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the afternoon, after an introduction to temperature sensors and their use in permafrost terrain by Galina and Olivia, the trainees were split into two groups, to test out their abilities at finding buried sensors based on location information and the use of a metal detector to find associated nails.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
