@maritaskovi_c14 Story of my life… haha

[duane froese @tephrafan]

This week we visited the most southerly remnants of the relict Laurentide Ice Sheet (14,000 yes old) with Buddy Gully from the K'ahsho Got'ine Guardians. In the NW area of #Sahtu and associated with large thaw slumps, similar to Peel Plateau and Inuvik sites to N. #permafrost

[UAlberta North @UAlbertaNorth]

Alejandro Alvarez presents their doctoral research in @UofA_EAS : "Holocene thermokarst landscape conditioning across the Pleistocene-Holocene transition: an example from the southern Inuvik-Tuktoyaktuk Highway, NW Canada."

& explains permafrost variability using desserts!

Happy #InternationalDogDay 🐾

Fantastic exposure to sample segregated ice bodies within colluvium sediments in the Klondike 🪜⛏

[Alejandro Alvarez @alvarezpermfrst]

New methods paper about ice wedge sampling coming soon…

Thank you to Diana and the miners at Hester Creek for the lending us the big claw.

Ever wondered why Holocene ice wedges are milky and older ice wedges are clear? Ok, maybe this is a niche question, but it is something that @alvarezpermfrst would like to investigate.

In B.C., there was a 201% increase in first dose vaccinations in the days after the passport system was announced.

In Alberta, there was a 15% increase in first dose vaccinations in the days after the $100 payment for unvaccinated people was announced.
