NWT RESEARCH DATABASE

Principal Investigator: Yoshikawa, Kenji KY
Licensed Year(s): 2013
Summary: Uniform permafrost and ground surface temperature measurements are one of the more important databases for long-term climatic study as well as remote sensing ground truthing data. Consistency in sensor depth, casing and drilling methods helps in comparison of the spatial and temporal distribution of the permafrost and seasonal conditions. The proposed partnership with the schools aids continuous m...

Summary: Methods include surveys of community elders to understand how driftwood is harvested and how many logs were harvested historically and at present. Remote sensing techniques will be used to quantify the inventory of riverside trees, the rates of bank erosion and the inventory of logs on the riverbanks. Rates of log movements will be estimated using river hydrology data and mark-recapture approaches...
