Summary: This study investigates the physical and chemical characteristics of permafrost in the Mackenzie Delta region. The thawing of ice-rich permafrost can result in subsidence or terrain instability. Determination of thaw-sensitive terrain is required to pla...

Principal Investigator: Fabijan, Michael F
Licensed Year(s): 2003
Summary: A team consisting of two ice specialists, one locally hired wildlife monitor and one locally hired field technician will be flown by helicopter from Inuvik to perform on-ice field work at Devon's western and eastern offshore drilling locations. No low-l...

Principal Investigator: Melton, Derek
Licensed Year(s): 2002 2000
Summary: The objective of the study is to assess environmental conditions at sites previously developed within the project area, as well as at new development sites proposed for 2002/2003. Information from these surveys will form part of an environmental assessme...
