Development and Initial Evaluation of a Daily DEM-Based Active Layer Heave and Subsidence Model
Daily permafrost active layer heave and subsidence was simulated for a 1 km2 study area in the Mackenzie Delta, NWT for a period of one year. This study involved the development and application of a simplified methodology for assessing the dynamic nature of the active layer. It is based on the adapt...
