Course Overview
This course presents the requirements in the National Standard, CAN/CSAS501 and is designed to help learners develop a thorough understanding of the main causes/mechanisms of permafrost degradation and thaw in northern communities and, importantly, near or beneath existing structures. The course will also address the main management options used to reduce, stop or reverse permafrost degradation near or beneath existing structures.
