This dataset presents data on soil properties (volumetric ice content, organic matter content, grain size) that come from two thermo-erosion gullies that were studied in the...

This dataset presents thaw front depths (TFD) measurements made in two thermo-erosional gullies on Bylot Island, Nunavut, Canada, from probing to refusal with a graduated steel...

This dataset includes a compilation of ground temperature data for two different locations in Kugluk Regional Park, near the community of Kugluktuk (Nunavut, Canada). These...

This dataset presents a compilation of sporo-pollinic taxa detected in glacier ice buried in the permafrost of Bylot Island. The buried ice was sampled using an earth auger...

Most of the world’s lakes are in the Arctic, yet very little is known about these aquatic environments. We present here the size and depth data for five large lakes in the...

In formerly glaciated permafrost regions, extensive areas are still underlain by a considerable amount of glacier ice buried by glacigenic sediments. Although the extent and...

This data set is a compilation of in-situ snow cover measurements acquired during multi-site and multi-date measurement campaigns. It includes snow depth, bulk density and snow...

This dataset compiles radiocarbon (14C) dates obtained from soil and lake sediment samples collected at Bylot Island, Nunavut. Bulk soil/sediment samples and, when present,...

Establishing new ecological baselines and initiating monitoring schemes on Arctic vegetation are critical to monitor, predict, and manage current and future impacts of climate...

Computed tomographic (CT) scanning was used (August 2015) to analyze a 109 cm-long lake sediment core from a thermokarst lake in Bylot Island, Nunavut, Canada. The core was...

Ground-penetrating radar (GPR) lines were collected (May 2015) at Gull Lake (Bylot Island, Nunavut, Canada) using sleigh-dragged Sensors and Software PulseEkko GPR and 50 MHz...

This dataset presents an estimation of the organic matter content (by loss-on-ignition) and particle size (grain size analysis) in two lake sediment cores (109 cm, 114 cm) from...

This dataset presents all the fossil diatom species identified in a 109 cm-long lake sediment core from a thermokarst lake in Bylot Island, Nunavut, Canada. The core was...

Over the past decades, observations of buried glacier ice exposed in thaw-slump affected terrain of the Arctic indicate that considerable amounts of Pleistocene glacier ice...
