Description :
This paper presents recent results from permafrost thermal monitoring sites primarily operated by the Geological Survey of Canada, CSG, and other federal government agencies, and discusses recent trends in permafrost conditions. The trends in permafrost temperature are consistent with trends in air temperature observed since the 1970s. Local conditions however, influence the response of the permafrost thermal regime to these changes in air temperature.
