Ice-wedge transect thaw depths during 2017 and 2018 thaw seasons, Fosheim Peninsula, Ellesmere Island, Nunavut, Canada ...
Thaw depths (cm) were collected using a 1 m permafrost probe weekly to biweekly for transects of 7 ice-wedge troughs (IW1 - IW7) and 2 polygon centres (P1 and P2) between 3 July, 2017 and 16 August, 2017 and 6 July, 2018 to 21 July, 2018 in a high-centred polygon system. Probing followed the same su...
