Permafrost Frontier*
- 1977 ----- color ----- 28 min ----- 16mm
- Discusses the difficulties encountered in the construction of a pipeline across a permafrost area such as Alaska. Beginning with a description of permafrost, including some common formations within it and the tundra that covers it, an engineer explains the effects that even small changes in temperature or tundra coverage would have on the entire ecosystem. The object is to maximize construction while minimizing the disturbance of nature. (Restricted to use on University of Washington campuses only)
