Principal Investigator: Marschner, Mark
Licensed Year(s): 2003
Summary: This study aims to better understand the formation of "calcrete" deposits, using field samples from the Campbell Uplift. Field sampling will be carried out daily using ground transportation to and from a base in Inuvik. Initial activities will include...

Summary: This season, a party of two will survey tubes between Tsiigehtchic and the coast during March and April and from Fort Simpson to the Arctic Coast in July and August. Staff of the Inuvik Research Centre may take late season measurements north and south of Inuvik as part of a cooperative program. Travel will be by road, small boat on the river and helicopter from Inuvik. Access to the sites is alw...

Principal Investigator: Pettit, George Robert
Licensed Year(s): 1999 1995
Summary: 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....

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....

Principal Investigator: Broll, Gabriele
Licensed Year(s): 1993
Summary: As part of his trip to Inuvik with the International Tour of Permafrost Affected Soils, the researcher will record information about the ecology (including local climate conditions, soil conditions and plant communities) of the timberline at selected sites visited during the Tour. These sites are located along the Dempster Highway near Inuvik....

Principal Investigator: Tarnocai, C.
Licensed Year(s): 1991
Summary: This tour and the associated meetings will focus on the genesis, classification and management of permafrost soils (Cryosols) and the possible effect of climate change on these soils....
