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.

作为对气候变化的反应，多年冻土环境极易发生变化。反过来，这使得永久冻土地区的重要道路交通网络面临这种不断变化的景观的风险。该项目旨在从地理学、古生态学和工程学等学科制定一个多学科的调查方法框架，以评估永久冻土退化的程度及其与偏远公路网的结构完整性和耐久性的关系，以期为这些网络的管理和未来发展提供信息。预定的研究区域是加拿大西北地区。
