In 1978, a shallow permafrost and terrain analysis study was started at Canadian Forces Station Alert, N.W.T. (82 degrees 30 minutes N, 62 degrees 26 minutes W). Five holes, drilled to depths down to 60 m, were instrumented with multi- thermistor cables, and temperature measurements have been taken...
