SUMMARY:Shifting Tracks: Permafrost Thaw along the Hudson Bay Railway
DESCRIPTION:Date: October 29\, 2024 \nTime: 12pm – 1pm \nEvent Format: Lunch Presentation \nLocation: South Dining Room\, Park Town Hotel\, 924 Spadina Crescent E\, Saskatoon\, SK\, S7K 3H5 \nHosting Organization: Saskatoon Geotechnical Group \nEvent Summary: Join the Saskatoon Geotechnical Group for the Cross Canada Lecture Tour\, presented by Jocelyn L.Hayley\, University of Calgary. Across the Canadian north\, access to stable linear infrastructure networks is critical for the well-being of Northern communities and the Canadian economy. The Hudson Bay Railway\, the first major transportation infrastructure built over permafrost in Canada\, is now facing significant climate-driven stability and drainage issues. The Hudson Bay Railway corridor extends across icy and frost-sensitive glacio-marine deposits through the sporadic\, discontinuous\, and continuous permafrost zones of Northern Manitoba. After touching on its rich history during construction and operation\, we introduce a\ntransdisciplinary multiyear project that aims to identify and characterize permafrost-related hazards along the railway corridor and investigate potential mitigation measures for improving rail stability and minimizing risk. Traveling along the Hudson Bay Railway\, we will look at site investigation methods\, explore ground temperatures and ice wedge formations\, drainage issues\, sinkhole formation and more – all with the goal to improve the resilience\, sustainability\, performance\, and safety of Canada’s permafrost railway. \nHow to Register: https://www.saskatoongeotech.com \nEvent Contact: saskatoongeotechnicalgroup@gmail.com \nDisclaimer: The views expressed during this event are those of the hosting organization and do not necessarily represent the views of APEGS.
