Rapid permafrost thaw expected in N W T , Yukon after heat wave, experts warn

We have kind of a double whammy, said Bill Quinton, a permafrost researcher at Wilfred Laurier University, who has been studying permafrost in the N.W.T. since the 1980s, mostly in the southwestern Dehcho region.  We started off the summer with lots of moisture and now we have the heat wave. So we anticipate this is going to be one of our large permafrost [thawing] years.   These are the highest record-breaking temperatures seen in N.W.T. and Yukon communities as of Monday, June 28.(CBC ) Permafrost is ground that remains below zero degrees for two years or more. Scientists are still trying to understand just how much carbon dioxide thawing permafrost will release into the atmosphere, and nearby water.
