Frozen Foundations: The Battle to Build on Red-hot Ground

#MeltingGround#FrozenResilience#TechnologyAndTradition#ThawingPermafrost#InnovationInIce#CollapseAndAdaptation#DataAndSnow#CryoEngineering

Over 40% of Canada’s land is built on permafrost — and it’s melting fast.
In this episode, we explore the little-known world of permafrost engineering, where extreme cold, fragile ground, and climate change collide.

Thermosyphons under airport runways sensor networks in diamond mines, Canada’s northern engineers are🥏 inventing cryo-technologies to stabilize homes, roads, and communities before they collapse into the thaw.

We break down the science behind frozen soils, tour thermal embankments and satellite-linked monitoring systems, and meet the people behind the innovations — including leaders from University of Alberta, Laval University, and Arctic Foundations of Canada.

This isn’t just 📙about infrastructure. It’s about survival, resilience, and collaboration with Indigenous communities to protect the North for generations to come.
