Principal Investigator: Burn, Chris R
Licensed Year(s): 1997 1996 1995 1994 1993 1992 1991
Summary: The Researcher and his team will continue to examine the hydrology of frost heave in the environment of a lake bottom. They will also conduct their study in land environments in the outer Delta and examine the distribution of ice in the upper layers of permafrost....

Principal Investigator: Solomon, Steven M
Licensed Year(s): 1991
Summary: The Researcher and his team will use a hand-operated auger to take sediment cores and temperature measurements. Cores will penetrate the seabed beneath the ice to a depth of 2-3 metres. Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) will be used to investigate ground ice distribution and a current meter will be used to measure sub-ice currents along the edge of the bottom-fast ice....

Principal Investigator: Blasco, Steve M
Licensed Year(s): 1990
Summary: The amphibious vehicle will be mounted with an echosounder, sidescan sonar, subbottom and seismic profiling equipment to run a test survey along the coast of the Tuktoyaktuk Peninsula. The CCGS NAHIDIK will tow a sidescan sonar system over the seafloor to rerun track lines surveyed in previous years to allow for the detection and measurement of the characteristics of new scours on the seafloor of ...

Principal Investigator: Forbes, D.L.
Licensed Year(s): 1990
Summary: The team will gather information on coastal erosion rates, geotechnical properties of coastal sediments and on the geological processes occurring along this permafrost coast. Surveys will include lithology description, ice content estimates and sediment sampling of the cliff face. Beach profiles at sites along the Yukon coast and on the Tuktoyaktuk Peninsula will also be surveyed....

Principal Investigator: Boyes, Donald M.
Licensed Year(s): 1995 1994 1990
Summary: The Researcher and team propose to provide a better understanding of the present fluvial regime in the area and a method of assessing the effects of uncontrollable influences such as global warming and controllable factores such as hydro-electric and pipeline development....

Principal Investigator: Smol, John P
Licensed Year(s): 1991 1990
Summary: The research team will sample approximately 20 lakes located within a 100 km radius of Tuktoyaktuk and within the immediate vicinity of Inuvik. At each lake they will analyze the water for major environmental variables and remove some of the lake mud for future analysis of algal remains....

Principal Investigator: Elliott, D.K.
Licensed Year(s): 1990
Summary: This research project will involve the measurement and description of stratigraphic sections and the collection of rock and fossil samples for laboratory study....

Principal Investigator: Mattner, Jorg
Licensed Year(s): 1988 1987
Summary: To reconstruct the depositional environment in as much detail as possible, of the Upper Jurassic and Lower Cretaceous sediments nowadays outcropping in the central part of the northern Richardson Mountains...

Principal Investigator: St-Onge, Denis A.
Licensed Year(s): 1985
Summary: To collect small specimens, mostly of unconsolidated sediments, in order to determine their nature, origin and age....

Principal Investigator: Ritchie, J.C.
Licensed Year(s): 1981
Summary: (a) To collect a series of lake sediments; (b) To collect selected plant groups and conduct vegetation analysis....
