Objectif(s): To complete on ice snow depth, ice thickness and composition survey along with collection under ice core water quality information.
Description du projet: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5155. The objective of this project is to complete on ice snow depth, ice thickness and composition survey along with collection under ice core water quality information. Sample locations from previous years are located using a handheld GPS. On ice snow depth is measured using a tape measure. An ice auger is used to penetrate the ice cover and evaluate if white ice is present. If present the depth is measured. The remaining ice cover is drilled using the ice auger. A measurement of total ice thickness is recorded. A measurement of hydrostatic water level is recorded. Under ice water quality is measured using an electronic water quality sonde (if available). Annual report of research activities will be provided. Research results will be presented in academic publication(s). Opportunities for community liaisons will be discussed with Aurora Research Institute. The fieldwork for this study will be conducted from April 1, 2022 to May 30, 2022.
