Lithalsas are permafrost mounds formed by ice segregation in mineral-rich soil that occurwithin the zone of discontinuous permafrost. Nearly 1800 lithalsas were mapped using archival aerial photographs Read more... about Lithalsa distribution, morphology and landscape associations in the Great Slave Lowland, Northwest Territories, Canada

Surface hydrology is an important aspect of northern environments on account of the thermal influence of water on permafrost. In this study, we demonstrate the ability of light detection and ranging (LiDAR) to map wet terrain Read more... about High-Resolution Mapping of Wet Terrain within Discontinuous Permafrost using LiDAR Intensity
