Mapping for Ground Ice along the ITH
Principal Investigator: Alvarez, Alejandro
Licensed Year(s): 2024 2023 2022
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5791. The objectives of this study are to (1) evaluate the geologic setting including geochemistry, and dating of sediments to establish a regional history of the area. (2) investigate the geologic setting of multiple buried, massive ice bodies. And (3) develop a geologic and hazards map along the ITH, highlighting feature...


Timing of glaciation and uplift of the Richardson Mountains and connection to Old Crow basin, northern Yukon
Principal Investigator: Froese, Duane G
Licensed Year(s): 2010
Summary: The objectives of this study are to observe and document sediments exposed along the upper Rat River, also to collect samples of sediments for potential radiocarbon dating. Researchers will fly into area via helicopter from Old Crow. Where possible the helicopter will land adjacent to river escarpments for access to large river bars or wide banks. Researchers will climb up banks to observe sedi...


Investigation of ground ice development in sediments of the Mackenzie Delta area
Principal Investigator: Burn, Chris R
Licensed Year(s): 1997 1996 1995 1994 1993 1992 1991
Summary: The researcher will continue to collect samples of ground ice and measure temperatures in lakes and ponds. This information is used to help understand how the ground heaves as it freezes in winter, and to determine the extent of soil settlement during thaw in summer. The information about lakes is used to help understand the relations between water depths and temperatures beneath the lake....


Quaternary Geology of the Beaufort Sea Coastal Plain
Principal Investigator: Vincent, Jean-Serge
Licensed Year(s): 1992 1991 1990
Summary: The researcher and his team will complete a detailed paleomagnetic sampling of the glacial and nonglacial sediments in the Morgan Bluffs of eastern Banks Island, and collect samples of boulders for Chlorine 36 dating. The data will allow the team to confirm or disconfirm previously proposed correlations and establish on a firmer basis the chronological framework for one of the longest sequences o...
