Geological Survey of Canada, Department of National Defence Permafrost is a thermal condition—its formation, persistence, or disappearance is highly dependent on climate. Its distribution, temperature, and thickness respond to natural Measured Parameters environmental changes and anthropogenic disturbances that cause an alteration to the Air temperature, wind speed, snow ground thermal regime. Changes in air temperature and/or precipitation, or surface depth disturbances due to clearing of vegetation, removal of insulating organic layer, forest fires, river channel migration, shoreline erosion all may produce a modification to the Related Website ground thermal regime. GSC Permafrost Website The interaction between the climate above the ground and below the ground is complex, and dependent on several factors. Changes in climate above the ground are most often dampened below the ground due to the insulating effects of vegetation, organic material, or snow cover. There is generally a lag between a temperature change at the ground surface and a permafrost change at depth. For thick permafrost, this lag may be on the order of hundreds to thousands of years, for thin permafrost, years to decades.

  • Text on Sign at Memorial Highway of Heroes
    Text on Sign at Memorial Highway of Heroes When the first four fallen soldiers were repatriated at CFB Trenton in 2002, members of the public stood in silence paying their respects to the soldiers and their families. People saw the live coverage on television and wanted to find a way to embrace the families of the fallen. After that first repatriation ceremony in 2002, individuals and families began standing on bridges overlooking Highway 401, to share in the grief of the families and to let them know that they were not alone. Each time since, when a fallen soldier has come home for the final time the numbers have grown along the bridges from Trenton to the coroner's office in Toronto. Day or night, people, families, Canadian Forces members, veterans and emergency responders attend bridges along what is now known as the Highway of Heroes, letting the families know that they are not alone and thanking the fallen for their ultimate sacrifice. Today, a dedicated group of volunteers, made up of veterans, active service members and families of the fallen set out to clean the Highway of Heroes every spring and fall so it remains a respectful place to remember and pay tribute. No. 26 Ordnance Depot of the Royal Canadian Ordnance Corps Canadian Forces Station Cobourg was a military logistics base located in Cobourg, Ontario. The facility was created due to the expansion of Canadian military capability brought about by the Korean War and Cold War. Logistics and supply facilities for the Army were being expanded across Canada.
