Worked in the #Sahtu in 2019 with @ActuaCanada facilitating STEM workshops and camps. Back in 2023 for my MSc. Research on Permafrost and contaminated sites with @UAlberta and it feels incredible.

And so begins a new season of fieldwork in the #Sahtu. This year— water sampling around permafrost landslides, landslides, contaminated sites, geophysics, community mapping. With ⁦@OnTheLandry⁩ ⁦@WedgeIceQc⁩ ⁦@alvarezpermfrst⁩, Gabrielle H and Keytash M.

A Latest Pleistocene turbic cryosol, probably about 16,000 years old. Tephra (probably the 80ka Sheep Creek K) and a very large horse. With Yukon palaeontology folks.

I love making these kinds of atlas-style maps, I wish I could get paid to do 400 of them for Wikipedia 😔

Finished a few days of community meetings in Tulita, NWT with the community, Renewable Resources Board and Willow River Indigenous Protected and Conservation Area talking about #permafrost, landscape change and community concerns. Wide ranging discussions and Great hospitality.

We did almost two hours on the local Fort Good Hope radio with the KG Guardians and one of the elders talking about changing permafrost in the Sahtu. For the last half a call-in show where community members asked questions about the environment. All also translated to Slavey.

A 4.5m active layer in an area of Ft Good Hope NWT where the vegetation was cleared on eolian sands vs 1.45 m in the forest behind. Active layer thickness here is mostly a function of organic thickness all other things being equal. W/ @OnTheLandry⁩ ⁦@WedgeIceQc⁩ and JC

Finishing up this weeks permafrost training with the K'ahsho Got'ine Guardians near their camp in the Tuyeta protected area. Installing ground temperature stations, ERT surveys, drilling and active layer monitoring as part of their permafrost program. A great trip.

Ice-rich and ice-poor #permafrost cuboid to assess volumetric ice content. The test reveals the composition of the alluvial terraces on which Tulita is built, which contain mainly ice-poor permafrost, but also intriguing pockets of ice-rich permafrost. #Sahtu


Excited to have instigated this shared initiative with the @cpa_acp! Gear accessibility can quickly become a barrier for people working in outdoor industries, academia and more. Check out these tips on making gear “shopping” more attainable and sustainable 🌱

Summer fieldwork season is here! Gathering personal gear can be an expensive pursuit. Check out these tips & tricks for finding the gear that works for you, at a bargain. #permafrost #fieldwork #accessibility

The #Sahtu region has about 200 drilling #sumps from oil exploration. It was assumed #permafrost would contain waste but in this area it is thin and vulnerable following disturbance. @OnTheLandry’s is testing permafrost integrity with ERT, ground temps, and mapping.

Students ⁦@WPSchool_EPSB⁩ learned about the very long artistic and cultural history of beading among the Indigenous people of Canada. Thank you Malija for sharing your incredible talents with us. #ArtsBlitz2023

“Kuptana said her community is thankful for the territory's quick response to remediate the site before freeze-up, but said there's still work to be done to mitigate permafrost thaw.” cbc.ca/news/canada/no…

We had a busy but fulfilling day in Tulita working with ~20 youth in the classroom and outside, active layer probing and drilling cores with @OnTheLandry, @WedgeIceQc and Ashley Rudy of NTGS. Ending with a community dinner and talk on our work in the Sahtu, and community mapping.
