How are climate change changing permafrost extent and civil infrastructure related?
The mechanical bearing capacity of permafrost decreases with warming, causing weakening of foundations and potential damage to and possible failure of buildings, pipelines, and transportation facilities.
How is permafrost affected by climate change?
A warming climate has brought higher temperatures to Alaska and other areas with permafrost, causing some permafrost to thaw.
While the impacts of climate change on permafrost vary at regional and local scales, permafrost thawing has been observed in many locations around the world.
What percentage of Canada is covered in permafrost?
Permafrost is ground remaining at or below 0°C continuously for at least two years.
About 50 per cent of Canada is underlain by permafrost, mainly in the Arctic Archipelago, Yukon, Northwest Territories and Nunavut.
The challenges are especially widespread along the Beaufort coast in Canada and Alaska, as well as on Siberian shores.
In communities like Tuktoyaktuk, Northwest Territories, for example, permafrost thaw regularly threatens homes, roads and important cultural sites as well as marine and coastal environments.
