"The goal of the project was to identify and understand the snow- and permafrost-related information needs of practitioners in the mining and transportation sectors in northern Canada, specifically in Yukon and the Northwest Territories, and to…

Heat transfer into the ground at highway culvert locations can lead to the thawing of permafrost, damaging infrastructure, shortening its lifespan, and increasing maintenance costs. The Dempster Highway in the northern Yukon experiences multiple…

"There are more and more researchers in the North who want their work to benefit northerners, and wonder if their results are relevant to the communities they work near or with. With the impacts of climate change being felt by those who live in…

This report presents the results of a project that aims to understand and, if possible, recommend actions to remediate the issues caused by the formation of sinkholes at km 82 and km 102-103 of the Dempster Highway. At km 82, this has resulted in…

This project is focused on supporting infrastructure maintenance and construction for the development of the Arctic and the well-being of communities who live on the land, while making high-level scientific contributions to permafrost science and…

Jean Marie River First Nation (JMRFN), located 127km east of Fort Simpson, is a very active community that has led and participated in many scientific and traditional studies in the past few years. Currently, two primary concerns there are the…

This study was carried out for the Yukon Energy Corporation (YEC) to understand the hydrological role of glaciers, and their future potential response to climate change, in the Upper Yukon River Basin above Whitehorse.

"In February of 2016, Raven Recycling collaborated with ACS Mechanical Systems with the support of Yukon Government’s EMR Energy Branch and the Cold Climate Innovation Centre to purchase an Austrian-built Hargassner Wood Chip/ Pellet boiler.…

Throughout northern Canada, a variety of documents speaking to climate change adaptation have been published. These range from peer review articles over presentations, websites, and reports to online tools. This project represents an effort to tie…

The Dempster Highway is the only road connection to the western Arctic. Now connected with the Inuvik-Tuktoyaktuk Highway, it is part of the infrastructure linking southern Canada with the Arctic Ocean. Extensive reconstruction of the Dempster…

This is a summary version of the "Compendium of Yukon Climate Change Science".

Yukon, Alaska and northern British Columbia depend heavily on road transportation to link communities and connect industrial activities to international markets. The Alaska Highway is the central transportation corridor in Yukon. It is crucial to…

The Alaska Highway between Burwash Landing and the Yukon/Alaska border is underlain by extensive discontinuous, warm and frequently ice-rich permafrost. The disturbance caused by construction of the road and climate warming has already led to the…

"The main role of the Whitehorse Community Climate Change Adaptation Project Local Advisory Committee (WLAC) has been to provide a local perspective to the project and to guide the allocation of money for pilot adaptation projects.The WLAC…

"This report is a cross-sector, structured, evidence-based assessment of Yukon climate change knowledge. Synthesizing our understanding is useful for researchers, decision makers, and the general public. Given the dynamic challenges and…
