Objectif(s): To sample sediment of various landforms within the environment of the Slave River Delta. Of particular interest are the lowlying landforms of the outer delta area which border Great Slave Lake. We will examine the particle size distribution of sediment and determine how it has changed over time and relate this to the changes in channels of the delta which deliver sediment to the lowlying islands in the outer portion of the delta.
Description du projet: We will arrive at Fort Resolution on or about mid June and re-establish our base camp on Steamboat channel. For each day we are on the delta will be taking samples of sediment from the marshes of the outer delta area with a coring device. At the base camp we will take the core of sediment and section it into 2cm thick sections which will be air dried and shipped south for analysis.
