Young, S.E. and A.S. Judge. 1985. Ground Temperature Data Collection for Northern Canada. Unpublished paper prepared for the McGill University Workshop on Thermal Regimes in Northern Canada. Montreal, Canada.This map depicts the distribution, characteristics, and boundaries of permafrost and ground ice in Canada. Permafrost classification is based on the proportion of land that is underlain by permafrost within a a given area.Canada was divided into physiographic units, and each unit was classified in terms of permafrost extent and ground ice content. The map shows mountain permafrost as sporadic or isolated discontinuous permafrost, rather than as a separate category.
