The ice-rich sediments of glacial lake Mackenzie make for great scenery but represent some of the most thaw sensitive terrain of the central valley. Last year’s fires hit a lot of this terrain near Tulit’a. This will drive rapid thaw. #Sahtu #permafrost

Sad to hear of the passing of John V Matthews, formerly of Geological Survey of Canada. He was a pioneering Arctic paleoecologist and link to an earlier generation of Alaska/Arctic researchers – including David Hopkins, Troy Péwé, Jack Wolfe and John Fyles. John was 82. A thread.
