Mechanical and thermal design of embankments built on permafrost
Principal Investigator: Bilodeau, Jean-Pascal
Licensed Year(s): 2024
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5914. The main objective is to develop a practical method for the mechanical and thermal design of embankments built on permafrost based on the properties of the active layer and of the permafrost, as well as the loading conditions. An existing thin section of the highway embankment built on permafrost has been instrume...


Carbon and trace metal transfers in the Mackenzie Delta region
Principal Investigator: Hilton, Robert G
Licensed Year(s): 2024 2023
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5924. The ultimate aim of this research is to transform understanding of how greenhouse gas emissions from rivers will impact the future trajectory of atmospheric CO2 and CH4 concentrations. Two key research objectives have been identified to address major research gaps in this carbon flux: Objective 1: Conduct river-bo...
