Long-term ecological and geomorphological investigations in the alpine tundra of the Mackenzie Mountains, NWT
chercheur principal: Mamet, Steven D
Année(s) de permis: 2018 2017 2016 2015 2014 2012 2010 2009 2008 2007 2006 2005 2004 2003
Résumé: The objectives of this research project are to determine: 1) the status of permafrost landforms; 2) long-term recovery after abandonment of the CANOL No. 1 project, including oil spills and gravel pits; 3) Status of treeline. Since 1990, automated microclimate stations powered by solar cells have been operated in the study area. One station is located at each of five permafrost landforms calle...

Relations between ground ice and geomorphic setting, Kendall Island Bird Sanctuary, Mackenzie Delta, NWT
chercheur principal: Morse, Peter D
Année(s) de permis: 2008 2007 2006
Résumé: This licence was issued for the scientific research licence application number 748. The project objective is to determine how near-surface wedge ice volumes are related to geomorphic setting, which reflects soil physical properties, moisture contents, and process and duration of ice formation. Wedge ice geometry will be measured with a hand-held CRREL drill, permafrost cores extracted, and s...

Arctic Analogues of Utopia and western Elysium Planitia, Mars
chercheur principal: Soare, Richard J
Année(s) de permis: 2009 2007 2006 2005 2004
Résumé: This project’s objective is to take multiple, small .25kg samples of the active layer of permafrost in areas where patterned ground and thermokarst are present. The data gained will help the researchers in their efforts to understand possible cold climate processes in the northern hemisphere of Mars. The researchers intend to visit areas in the vicinity of Inuvik and Tuktoyaktuk where polygonal...

Effects of climate change on coastal geomorphology and benthic biotic communities, southwestern Banks Island
chercheur principal: Edinger, Evan N
Année(s) de permis: 2005
Résumé: Climate change is affecting coastlines and coastal communities across Arctic Canada. Communities in the Western Arctic, including Sachs Harbour, have described a variety of effects, including warmer temperatures, reduced sea ice thickness, longer duration of open water in summer, increased wave activity, and new or early arrivals of migratory animals. These effects can have a variety of impacts ...

Channel Morphology Studies: Slave River Delta
chercheur principal: English, Michael C
Année(s) de permis: 2000 1996 1995
Résumé: The field crew will live on the delta for approximately 8-9 weeks at a site established by the principal investigator in 1997 on Steamboat Channel. Transportation will be by boat. Three channels will be studied in detail. At each study site the researchers will measure the speed of the flow using an electronic velocity meter, measure the cross sectional profile of the channel with tape and rod ...
