Hydrology of High Latitude Watersheds
Principal Investigator: Marsh, Philip
Licensed Year(s): 2023 2022 2021 2020 2019 2018 2017 2016 2015 2014 2013 2012 2011 2010 2009 2008 2007 2006
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5496. The objectives of this project are: 1) to develop improved understanding of, and ability to predict, snowcover formation and melt, as well as stream discharge in northern regions; 2) consider the integrated effect of climate on vegetation, snow, permafrost, streamflow, and lakes; and 4) develop improved predictive mod...

Radar Remote Sensing of Snow
Principal Investigator: Kelly, Richard
Licensed Year(s): 2018 2017
Summary: The primary objectives of this study are to: 1) understand and explain the role of snow microstructure in terms of the radar backscatter and phase response in this environment 2) to evaluate the efficacy of differential synthetic aperture radar (dInSAR) for snow accumulation estimates at C-band, and 3) to evaluate the optimal approach to estimating snow water equivalent using radar from this site....

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...

Geomorphological and hydrological research on valley formation in arctic and subarctic environments
Principal Investigator: Schunke, Ekkehard
Licensed Year(s): 2000 1994 1992 1990
Summary: The researchers will continue their study, initiated in 1990, on the geological and hydrological processes which contribute to valley formation in the subarctic and arctic. Data will be collected on various aspects of water runoff and sediment content. This data, along with long-term environmental data collected by Environment Canada, will contribute to our knowledge about valley formation....

Snow accumulation, melt, runoff and 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: As part of a long-term study, this research will examine the important role that snow plays in northern ecosystems. Snow accounts for a large portion of yearly precipitation: when it melts, snow is a significant source of freshwater for refilling lakes and ponds, and for plant growth. This study will examine the role that snow plays in controlling streamflow and movement of solutes, nutrients an...
