Twenty-eight drill holes ranging from 15 to 150 m in depth have been instrumented with strings of thermistors and thermocouples at six study sites between Plateau Mountain and Jasper, south-west Alberta. Measurements are made every four weeks and indicate that the lower limit of continuous permafrost forms a dome-shape with its centre at Bow Summit, at 2575 m. The limit lies around 2130 m at Jasper and 2270 m at Plateau Mountain. This dome appears to be due to increased snowfall around the ice caps and glaciers, and there may be an inverse relationship between the elevation of the glaciation limit and that of the lower limit of continuous permafrost at a given latitude. In areas of low winter snowfall, the zone of discontinuous permafrost u...
