Objectif(s): To gain a better understanding of shallow water geology including geotechnical properties and sub sea permafrost; to resolve on-shore to off-shore stratigraphic problems; to continue refinement of coastal and near shore processes model building on work spanning two decades;

Description du projet: The team will drill and sample five 100 meter boreholes along a transect from northern Richards Island to an anomalous permafrost site 25 Km off-shore. In site testing, geophysical and geothermal logging will accompany the drilling. Undisturbed core will be maintained and shipped to the SINT lab in Inuvik for detailed logging, testing and subsampling.
