Monitoring & modelling ice rich permafrost coastal responses to in-situ and dynamic drivers in a changing climate along the Beaufort Sea coast, Canada

研究问题：1。目前大范围的冻土退化和侵蚀率是多少？2.现场控制如何影响大规模的永久冻土退化和侵蚀率？3.动态控制如何影响大范围的冻土退化和侵蚀速率？研究的预计结果-将确定整个博福特海6个地点的永久冻土海岸变化的模拟流速。将对现场和动态驱动因素进行评估，以显示它们对变化率的任何潜在相关性。当这些驱动因素被认为是与当前的模拟率，其结果可以用来产生未来的预测率在气候变化。因此，建立了一个有价值的工具，可以适用于其他北极永久冻土海岸线。

Research Questions:1. What are the current wide-scale rates of permafrost degradation and erosion?2. How do in-situ controls affect the wide-scale rates of permafrost degradation and erosion?3. How do dynamic controls affect the wide-scale rates of permafrost degradation and erosion?Projected Outcome of the Study - Modelled current rates of permafrost coastal change for 6 sites throughout the Beaufort Sea will be identified. In-situ and dynamic drivers will be assessed to show any potential correlation they have on rates of change. When these drivers are considered alongsidecurrent modelled rates, the outcome can be used to generate future predicted rates among climate change. Thus, establishing a valuable tool which could be applied across other Arctic permafrost coastlines.
