The Symposium was sponsored by the Permafrost Subcommittee, Associate Committee on Geotechnical Research, National Research Council of Canada. It was the fifth symposium on permafrost geophysics, the first taking place at Calgary in 1974 (NRC Tech. Memo.

No. 119), and the fourth in Saskatoon in 1977 (NRC Tech. Memo. No. 124).
There were 84 participants in attendance during the two-day meeting, 70 from Canada, 11 from the United States, 1 from Brazil and 2 from the Peoples' Republic of China.
