Objectif(s): To investigate the influence of petroleum contamination on soil thermal properties by: (1) examining the influence of varying oil concentrations on soil thermal properties; (2) determining oil concentrations within permafrost; and (3) defining the influence of oil concentration of soil freezing.
Description du projet: In this study, oil spill sites will be identified and information will be collected on the vegetation, soil and amount of surface oil present. Five soil cores from the sample sites will be collected and analyzed for oil concentrations as well as used for experimentation in order to assess soil thermal properties. The researcher will drive to the study site (Mile 222 on the Canol Road) from Ross River.
