Summary:
This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5877.
The main objectives are: 1. to fly a novel Ku- and L-band synthetic aperture radar (SAR) system over snow covered tundra land, lakes and sea ice in winter to obtain unique radar observations of these environments; 2. to use collected field measurements acquired by J. Thériault's project (license #5743) at Trail Valle...

20212020 Summary:
This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5130.
The first objective of this research is to understand how ground temperatures vary within the highway embankment between the border on the Dempster Highway and the north end of the Inuvik to Tuktoyaktuk Highway. The road surface varies little between these points and it is cleared in winter, so conditions should be un...

2019 Summary:
This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.4648.
This project aims to evaluate and develop the utility of Canada’s future RADARSAT Constellation Mission (RCM) (launch June 2019) for the monitoring of lake ice breakup and freeze-up. RCM-type radar images will be simulated using data from Canada’s current radar satellite – that is - RADARSAT-2. Validation data in the ...

2019
Summary:
This project aims to undertake fieldwork in the context of the PermASAR winter campaign. The data collected will support the evaluation and development of radar satellite Earth observation (EO) technology for application to the mapping of river and lake ice processes and properties.
The research team expect the fieldwork to take place over a period of two to three weeks in the months of Februar...

201220102009 Summary:
This project aims to evaluate and develop the utility of Canada’s future RADARSAT Constellation Mission (RCM) (launch 2018) for the monitoring of lake ice breakup and freeze-up. RCM-type radar images will be simulated using data from Canada’s current radar satellite – that is - RADARSAT-2. Validation data in the form of oblique aerial photographs are required to assess the accuracy of the image pr...

2012201120102009 Summary:
The overall objective of this research component is to improve knowledge on lake ice and its effect on food webs/productivity in small Arctic lake systems in order to better predict changes that could occur under changing climate.
The methodology described here pertains to research activities involving the automated ice buoy and instrumented subsurface mooring system for continuous monitoring o...

20102009 Summary:
The overall objective of this study is to develop a model that can be used to look at the vulnerability of small arctic lakes and ponds to changing climate.
Lake Ice Study:
Lakes 5A, 5B and Noell Lake (MAP-2 of the original licence application) will be visited in mid-April to measure lake ice. Holes will be made in the ice using an ice corer. Ice thickness and composition will be determined by...
Principal Investigator:Burn, Chris R Licensed Year(s):

1987 Summary:
The research team will monitor the amount of heave that occurs in lake-bottom sediments during winter, after water freezes to the bottom of lakes, because these environments are the best for examining the hydrology of frost heaving....

(3) Monitoring of Mackenzie Delta Lake Process (break-up, etc.) using time lapsed photography - April - November 1981. (4) Inuvik-Tuktoyaktuk Highway Hydrology Study (water distribution, etc.) April/November 1981 (aerial surveys)....
