A team of FERG researchers completed a successful fieldwork campaign based in Inuvik in July, looking at tree, vegetation, soil and water properties adjacent to boreholes which record long-term permafrost data. The samples and measurements collected as part of this field campaign will be used to investigate the impacts of permafrost thaw on vegetation changes and subsequent water quality impacts.
