A digital database of permafrost thickness in Canada. Geological Survey of Canada Open File Report 4173.The Canadian permafrost thickness database includes publicly available information from published and unpublished sources for 1005 sites; 916 of these are terrestrial sites ,and 89 are marine sites. Much of the data were collected between 1960 and the mid 1980s. The depth of the 0 deg C isotherm and the base of ice-bearing permafrost is recorded in the database. Also included is information on site characteristics such as air temperature, geology and vegetation, which influence the thickness of permafrost at a particular site. The database has been published as a Geological Survey of Canada Open File Report which also includes a series of maps and graphs which illustrate site distribution, permafrost thickness and other attributes of the database.https://nsidc.org/data/GGD620/versions/1GET DATAmailto:ssmith@nrcan.gc.caGet External DataCEOS IDN DIFVERSION 9.92004-10-112019-02-11NSIDCVersion SummaryNSIDCMinor VersionNSIDCCurrent Version1NSIDCFull Dataset Citation2004. <i>Digital Database of Permafrost Thickness in Canada.</i> [indicate subset used].
