I'm very good at multi-tasking. Thank you very much.
The example I had was of my colleague Michel Allard applying CT scans to permafrost. That was very theoretical. Then, the mayor of Salluit came to him and said, “We have a terrible problem up in the north of Quebec. The land is falling apart. We have had to move 20 of our buildings. We may have to move the entire town of Salluit. Well, we can't afford to do that.” Of course, culturally, that would be a terrible thing to do. Also, it would break the Bank of Canada to move all Inuit communities.
He worked with the CT technique to examine ice within the permafrost. He worked very closely with the Inuit community to identify traditional lands that would be of cultural interest for further development. They developed a risk map for future climate change such that the community can now build for the future knowing that, in the decades ahead, they are on the most stable ground in that particular area.
