Historic Change in Permafrost Distribution in Northern British Columbia and Southern Yukon Territory, Canada The impact of recent climate change on permafrost distribution was evaluated by repeating the 1964 survey of Roger Brown along the Alaska Highway from Whitehorse, YT to Fort St. John, BC in August 2007 and 2008. Results demonstrate that: (1) significant degradation of permafrost has occurred over the past four decades, especially in the southernmost part of the route where 67% of the permafrost sites in 1964 no longer exhibit perennially frozen conditions; (2) the mapped southern limit of discontinuous permafrost appears to have shifted roughly 75 km northward; (3) most of the permafrost still present in the study area is in peat or under thick organic mats, which probably relates to a large thermal offset or to...
