Summary:
This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.4759.
The overall objective of this research is to assess the permafrost thaw slump erosion and transport of its sediment by rainfall/runoff to depositional zones within Arctic tundra lakes. To achieve this, we will link a rainfall simulator with an annular flume (to simulate lake currents) located in the Hydro-ecology Moni...

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...
