Active Layer Monitoring Network in the Mackenzie Valley
Principal Investigator: Nixon, Frederick M
Licensed Year(s): 2008 2007 2006 2005 2004 2003 2002 2001 2000 1999 1998 1997 1996 1995 1994 1993 1992 1991 1990
Summary: The active layer is the earth overlying permafrost that thaws from the surface and re-freezes each year, and it responds to climate change. Active layer thickness influences vegetation and soil conditions, potentially influencing hunting, forestry, etc. and it’s, thickness, texture and moisture content affects foundations. Changes in the active layer and thaw depth can contribute to slope instabil...

Snowmelt Runoff/Chemistry in High Latitude Permafrost Basins
Principal Investigator: Marsh, Philip
Licensed Year(s): 2005 2004 2003 2002 2001 2000 1999 1998 1997 1996 1995 1994 1993 1992 1990
Summary: The Researchers will study the role of the snowcover in controlling both streamflow and the movement of solutes/nutrients/pollutants through both tundra and forested ecosystems. Computer models will also be developed to predict the distribution and properties of snow, its melt and runoff during the spring period, and the release of solutes/nutrients/pollutants from the snow....
