Summer thaw depths at eight monitoring sites in the Mackenzie Valley, determined from probing of grids and thaw tubes, are used to characterise the spatial and temporal variations in active‐layer thickness and to investigate linkages to climatic variations. Intra‐site variability in thaw depths is t...
