The Yukon Geological Survey compiled geotechnical and ground temperature data from government, industry, and other contributors. The database is publicly accessible via an online portal where data can be explored interactively in web maps, tables, and time series graphics. Database contents are available for download in various formats to support the assessment of thaw-related hazard and risk.
Use Cases
- Assessing thaw-related hazard and risk based on permafrost distribution and thermal regime data
- Analyzing ground temperature envelope graphics for thermal regime studies
- Exploring permafrost data interactively via web maps and tables for territorial-scale integration
- Downloading geotechnical data in various formats for environmental modeling
Strengths
- Data is publicly accessible from an online portal with interactive exploration tools
- Database contents are available for download in a variety of formats
- The database will be maintained and updated regularly
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
- The description notes the paper discusses some of the database's limitations
