Geomorphological and hydrological research on valley formation in Arctic and subarctic environments
chercheur principal:
Année(s) de permis: 2000 1994 1992 1990
Résumé: The researcher will measure discharge, run-off velocity, sediment load, dissolved load and microclimate parameters (air and ground temperatures, relative humidity, evaporation, precipitation and radiation) in small valleys of James Creek. They drive to the location in a 3/4 ton truck which is parked in an abandoned quarry near the road. They walk to their data collection sites. The observations...


Geographic Information Systems (GIS) Range Management Feasibility Study for Kunnek Resource Development Corporation.
chercheur principal:
Année(s) de permis: 1999
Résumé: The objective of this project is to conduct a feasibility study on the use of geographic inforamtion systems (GIS) as tools for long-term monitoring of the Reindeer herd in the Beaufort-delta region. This project will focus on research based in Inuvik using GIS equipment and library resources. Logistical requirements may potentially require travel to Richards Island, Atkinson Point and Husky La...


Airborne observations of surface-atmosphere energy exchange over the Mackenzie basin.
chercheur principal:
Année(s) de permis: 1999
Résumé: The Twin Otter, operated by the National Research Council of Canada, will be stationed at the Inuvik Airport (most likely in the RCMP hanger). Support equipment for the aircraft and for data analysis will be shipped to Inuvik and installed at the hanger and in the Finto Hotel. No installation or infrastructure is required elsewhere in the field. Data collected from the aircraft (operating at 60m)...


FIRE III: An Arctic Cloud Study
chercheur principal:
Année(s) de permis: 1998
Résumé: Arctic clouds are dominant on average covering 40 to 60% of the skies over the Arctic ocean. They exert a large influence on the radiation balance in the Arctic, where climate change effects are predicted and observed to be largest in the northern hemisphere. The FIRE III field project will use in-situ measurements obtained using instrumental aircraft, in combination with concurrent satellite dta,...


Anticancer Agents from Microorganisms
chercheur principal:
Année(s) de permis: 1999 1995
Résumé: The researcher will collect by hand, usually along the roadside, approximately several grams of soil and mud specimens to be returned to the Cancer Research Institute laboratories for evaluation for microorganism constituents which may have potential anticancer activity....


Cretacous and Younger Fossil Fauna from the area along the Peel River, N.W.T., Canada
chercheur principal:
Année(s) de permis: 1995 1990
Résumé: The researchers will collect specimens of fossil molluscs exposed in critical areas. This involves simply breaking rocks loose from their location. No excavation deeper than 1 foot is contemplated. Localities will be marked on topographic maps and measurements of sections exposed in river banks will be made. Analysis will be completed in California. Significant specimens will be returned to t...


NASA Long Duration Balloon Program
chercheur principal:
Année(s) de permis: 1995
Résumé: The purpose of the campaign is twofold. The first is to fly research instrumentation aboard large scale scientific balloons to measure Cosmic Ray particles entering the earth's atmosphere. The second is to conduct a demonstration flight of newly developed long duration balloon systems for the LDB program. The northern latitudes are desired because of favourable geomagnetic influences on particl...


Palynology (Mackenzie Valley Global Change), study of the climatic change along the Mackenzie River and on the Arctic Islands.
chercheur principal:
Année(s) de permis: 1995 1993 1992
Résumé: The researcher will sample a variety of lakes (some 50 lakes altogether) around Inuvik. A hole, approximately 8 inches in diameter, will be bored through the ice in each lake. Using an Ekman sampler, lake bottom sediments (mud) will be collected for analysis in the lab. The researchers will get to each of the lakes bt helicopter and spend approximately 15 to 20 minutes at each lake....


Influence of the Arctic on Mid-latitude Weather and Climate: Observation of Precipitation Particles at Inuvik.
chercheur principal:
Année(s) de permis: 1995
Résumé: The researchers will observe crystal formation from ice fog through the collection of samples for microscopic observation and through the taking of photographs/video of optical phenomena produced by floating ice crystals. Particle counting and cloud condensation nucleus counting at the observation site will also be done....


Pealand-Permafrost Mapping and Environmental Implications.
chercheur principal:
Année(s) de permis: 1994
Résumé: The researcher will map the configuration of peat deposits and permafrost within them using geophysical surveys (ground penetrating radar and EM-31). This will involve setting out a traverse line on foot using measuring tape and flagging tape, taking measurements along the traverse line with hand-held equipment and measuring the depth of peat using a probe. The researcher will drive or fly out ...
