Abstract
There are many unknowns and challenges in providing cathodic protectio n (CP) for a pipeline located in discontinuous permafrost areas. Preli minary pipe-to-soil data indicates that CP coverage was achieved in th ese regions without needing local anodes. Work is required to verify w hether this conclusion can be extended over the course of an annual fr eeze-thaw cycle.
