Thermal covers have been widely adopted in Northern Canada for freeze encapsulation of potentially reactive mine waste to limit acid rock drainage. A better understanding of the predicted and observed thermal performance of these cover systems is needed to improve design and gain regulatory and public acceptance of the strategy for long-term closure. This paper describes the three main thermal covers and the dominant mechanisms of heat transfer for each.
