Permafrost geochemistry and retrogressive thaw slump morphology (Peel...
In ice-rich hummocky terrains spanning broad swaths of the Canadian Arctic, accelerating permafrost thaw and terrain subsidence (thermokarst) are exposing materials that were... -
Particulate matter and dissolved organic carbon concentrations in northern...
Ice covers northern lakes for much of the year and has biological and biogeochemical properties that differ from those in the underlying water. Since 2017, we have studied lake... -
Paleomagnetic data from sedimentary sequences on Bylot Island, Nunavut.
This dataset presents a compilation of paleomagnetic records from glacigenic sedimentary sequences studied on Bylot Island (Nunavut). Discrete sediment samples were collected... -
Organic matter content and grain size distribution in lake sediment cores,...
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... -
Northern Ellesmere Island ice shelf and ice tongue extents
The ice shelves along the northern coast of Ellesmere Island have been in a state of decline since at least the early 20th century. Available data derived from explorers'... -
Morphometry of glacial lakes formed in front of glaciers C-93 and C-79
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... -

Limnological data from 49 lakes in Tursujuq National Park, Northern Quebec (Nunavik)
The chemical characteristics of lakes change according to local conditions in their watershed: soil type, vegetation type, proximity to the coast, etc. We studied 49 lakes... -
Limnological and pigment data for surface waters along a hydrological...
Northern terrestrial ecosystems are undergoing rapid transformation, potentially affecting the chemistry and microbial community structure in rivers flowing through them. The... -
Isotope characterization of ground ice on Bylot Island
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... -
Inventory of rock glaciers in the Torngat Mountains of northern Labrador
The Torngat Mountains of northern Labrador are an Arctic cordilleran mountain range located at the southern limit of the Canadian Arctic. Sparse observations of periglacial... -
In-situ snowpack physical properties in northeastern Canada (Québec,...
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... -
