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.目前大范围的多年冻土退化和侵蚀速率是什么？2.现场控制如何影响大范围的永久冻土退化和侵蚀速率？3.动态控制如何影响大范围的永久冻土退化和侵蚀速率？将确定波弗特海6个地点研究模拟的永久冻土海岸变化当前速率的预测结果。将对现场和动态驱动因素进行评估，以显示它们与变化率的任何潜在相关性。当将这些驱动因素与当前的建模速率一起考虑时，结果可以用来生成未来气候变化的预测速率。因此，建立一个有价值的工具，可以应用于北极其他永久冻土海岸线。

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.
