Yukon – Beaver Creek : Air ducts

By the chimney effect, the air ducts of the experimental section YG7 of Alaska Hwy have proven significantly efficient to preserve the underlying permafrost. One of these is now used to measure the heat flow between the circulating air and the embankment with a high precision. On the picture with me, Benoit Loranger from Pr. Guy Doré’s lab at Université Laval, and behind the camera, Kate Grandmont, from the Geocryolab (thanks for the pic by the way). Thanks to both of them who helped me this day (and many other on different times). The monitoring setup was restarted during Fall’14 for a second winter and records will be collected as soon as possible (Figure 1).
