Canadian Permafrost Association

The Canadian Permafrost Association (CPA) is an organization dedicated to the study and understanding of permafrost, which is permanently frozen ground found in northern regions of Canada and beyond. The CPA brings together researchers, policymakers, and community members to share knowledge, promote research, and address the impacts of climate change on permafrost. As temperatures rise, permafrost is thawing, leading to environmental changes that affect ecosystems and human infrastructure. The CPA aims to raise awareness and support actions to monitor, protect, and adapt to these changes, ensuring a sustainable future for affected communities and landscapes.
