  1. Proceedings Available Online
    6th Canadian Permafrost Conference

The proceedings of the 6th Canadian Permafrost Conference are now
available for viewing and searching on the Canadian Permafrost
Conferences website, at: http://www.aina.ucalgary.ca/cpc.

The Canadian Permafrost Conferences website contains the proceedings of
all six Canadian Permafrost Conferences (1962, 1964, 1969, 1981, 1990,
and 2010). PDF files of the papers from each proceedings can be viewed
sequentially, and a database describing the 256 papers can be searched
for words in titles and abstracts, broad or detailed subject and
geographic categories, authors, and conference numbers. All of the
records in this database are also available in the main Arctic Science
and Technology Information System (ASTIS) database
(http://www.aina.ucalgary.ca/astis) and in relevant ASTIS subset
databases.

Indian and Northern Affairs Canada funded the indexing of the 6th
Canadian Permafrost Conference proceedings. The Geological Survey of
Canada (Natural Resources Canada) digitized the proceedings of the first
five conferences and funded their indexing. ASTIS (Arctic Institute of
North America, University of Calgary) indexed the proceedings and
created the website. Support for this initiative is provided by the
Canadian National Committee for the International Permafrost
Association.

To view or search the proceedings, please go to:
