Abstract
Permafrost along isostatically emerging coasts must be aggrading into land as it becomes exposed in the tidal zone. The initiation of permafrost has been shown, by borehole temperature measurements, to occur in the upper half of the tidal zone at Churchill, Manitoba. A theoretical model, based on the extrapolation of a single surface temperature history, provides a prediction of permafrost extent that may be accurate enough to be of use in reconnaissance site investigations.
