The sensitivity of Canada’s Yukon Coastal Plain to a warming climate

will have profound impacts on the permafrost coastline of Canada’s Beaufort Sea. In addition to warmer air and sea temperatures contributing to erosion, coasts will experience higher sea levels and increased storminess, and they will be exposed to these conditions for longer periods due to an increa...
