This research program creates insight and innovation based on progress during the first term of the Chair. Large areas of the North experience degradation of permanently frozen soil or rock, referred to as permafrost. This affects ecosystems, economic activity, and climate. The program will quantify changing subsurface material properties in degrading permafrost by simulation and measurement. Expected outcomes include innovative tools with demonstrable reliability, information on current and future permafrost, and HQP who are trained equally for careers in academia, government and industry. By improving predictive capabilities, this will benefit sustainable development, environmental conservation, and research in the changing North.

该研究项目在主席第一任期内的进展基础上创造洞察力和创新。北方的大片地区经历了永久冻土或岩石的退化，即永久冻土。这会影响生态系统、经济活动和气候。该计划将通过模拟和测量来量化在退化的永久冻土中变化的地下物质特性。预期成果包括具有可证明可靠性的创新工具、关于当前和未来永久冻土的信息，以及为学术界、政府和工业界的职业生涯提供同等培训的HQP。通过提高预测能力，这将有利于不断变化的北方地区的可持续发展、环境保护和研究。
