In addition, temperature sensors were installed at two peatland sites to monitor permafrost conditions. A perfect way to end her field season! All photographs by Niels Weiss (NTGS).

During the campaign, the team collected six peat cores—totaling 10 metres of peat—from polygonal permafrost peatlands near Artillery Lake. These samples will help estimate the timing of peatland formation and the amount of carbon stored in these northern ecosystems.
