In 1978, a shallow permafrost and terrain analysis study was started at Canadian Forces Station Alert, N.W.T. (82 degrees 30 minutes N, 62 degrees 26 minutes W). Five holes, drilled to depths down to 60 m, were instrumented with multi- thermistor cables, and temperature measurements have been taken every two or three weeks for the last three years by DND personnel. The drilling sites were chosen to cover various terrain types accessible from the Alert station. Preliminary air photo analysis indicates that the principal landforms are of glacial and marine origin. A 60 m temperature cable (site 1), installed within 100 m of a shore-line emerging due to glacial unloading, yields temperatures 4 to 5 K warmer than two similar cables installed on...
