Canadian Geothermal Data Collection: Deep permafrost temperatures and thickness of permafrost

Entry ID: ggd503

[ Update this Record ]

Summary

Abstract: Precision temperature measurements have been made in some 150 deep wells and holes drilled in the course of natural resource exploration in the permafrost regions of Northern Canada. In most cases, holes were logged by lowering a probe containing a regions of Northern Canada. In most cases, holes were logged by lowering a probe containing a thermistor incrementally down the well, in other cases ...
