Abstract :
In this study we used differential InSAR techniques to monitor landslide slide and permafrost activity at a site along the Mackenzie Valley Pipeline Corridor. Our results that motion are about 3 times more on exposed burnt slopes than the adjacent areas. The maximum activity is in September, probability related to gradual accumulated increases in soil temperatures.
