Permafrost environments are extremely susceptible to change as a response to climate change. In turn, this puts vital road transportation network in permafrost regions at risk from this changing landscape. This project seeks to develop a multi-disciplinary framework of survey methods from the disciplines of geography, paleoecology and engineering to assess the extent of permafrost degradation and it's relationship to the structural integrity and durability of remote road networks with a view to informing the management and future development of these networks. The intended study area is North West Territories, Canada.

多年冻土环境极易变化，这是对气候变化的反应。反过来，这使得永久冻土地区的重要道路运输网络受到这种不断变化的景观的风险。该项目旨在从地理，古生物学和工程学学科中开发出一个多学科的调查方法框架，以评估多年冻土降级的程度及其与远程道路网络的结构完整性和耐用性的关系，以了解这些网络的管理和未来发展和未来的发展。预期的研究区是加拿大西北地区。
