The proposed research will generate a comprehensive framework for assessing the landscape controls over permafrost disturbance and the impact of disturbances on vegetation and water quality. This integrated research is necessitated by the presence of two large natural gas fields adjacent to the Sabine Peninsula on northern Melville Island, Nunavut. Development of these resources will require unprecedented infrastructure to recover gas and deliver it to a liquefaction plant on the south coast of Melville Island for shipping to southern markets.

拟议的研究将产生一个全面的框架，评估景观控制永久冻土干扰和干扰对植被和水质的影响。由于在努纳武特北方梅尔维尔岛的萨宾半岛附近存在两个大型天然气田，因此有必要进行综合研究。开发这些资源将需要前所未有的基础设施来回收天然气，并将其输送到梅尔维尔岛南海岸的液化厂，以便运往南部市场。
