Active fiber-optic distributed temperature sensing to assess the geothermal potential and groundwater flow over the traditional territory of the Lù'àn Män Ku Dän, Yukon
International audience The traditional territory of the Lù'àn Män Ku Dän (Kluane Lake People) is found along the Saint Elias Mountains in Yukon. It hosts the Burwash Landing community, home of the Kluane First Nation, which is one of eleven self-governing First Nations operating in tripartite w...

International audience The traditional territory of the Lù'àn Män Ku Dän (Kluane Lake People) is found along the Saint Elias Mountains in Yukon. It hosts the Burwash Landing community, home of the Kluane First Nation, which is one of eleven self-governing First Nations operating in tripartite with Yukon Government and Canada.
