This licence is being issued for the scientific research application no. 956.
The primary objective of this study is to field test and assess the utility of an electromagnetic (EM) geophysical technique called magnetotellurics (MT), as an inexpensive method for mapping spatial variations and changes within permafrost in the Mackenzie Delta area. Due to the large change in soil electrical resist...
