Data Identification

Abstract: Datasets in this issue of Nordicana-D (D8) incude borehole data collected in the vicinity of Umiujaq, Nunavik, northeastern Canada. The measurement sites are part of the SILA network of the Center for Northern Studies (CEN Centre d'études nordiques); climate data are also available in other issues of Nordicana-D. Umiujaq data covers the period from 1997-2014, at depth ranges of 100-2000 cm (UMIROCA). Average ground temperature (Deg. C) is available as: (1) recorded data, which is the average of 60 recorded measurements of the previous hour; (2) daily average; (3) monthly average; and (4) yearly average. The same issue of Nordicana-D includes borehole measurements in 10 other locations in Nunavik and Nunavut - Akulivik, Aupaluk, Bylot, Iqaluit, Kangiqsualujjuaq, Pangnirtung, Puvirnituq, Quaqtaq, Salluit, Tasiujaq - for which metadata records are also available in the Polar Data Catalogue.
Purpose: Permafrost is the foundation upon which northern ecosystems and communities rest and upon which new industrial infrastructures are built. Determining its fate is important to a number of different disciplines and users. The purpose of this project is to determine the succession of thermo-dynamical processes in various geological and climatic settings that lead to permafrost thaw from climate forcing and terrain disturbance.
