Principal Investigator: van der Sanden, Joost J.
Licensed Year(s): 2023
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5480. This project aims to collect field data for use in the development of methods that will enable the application of images from Canada’s RADARSAT Constellation Mission (RCM) to the mapping and monitoring of river and lake ice properties and processes. The research team expect the fieldwork to take place on approximat...

Principal Investigator: Drouin, Hugo
Licensed Year(s): 2020 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 ...

Principal Investigator: van der Sanden, Josephus J
Licensed Year(s): 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...

Summary: Ice gauges are installed on river ice once the ice is strong enough to support researchers (20 gauges in the Mackenzie Delta and 15 gauges on Hay River). The gauges are read every 10 days to obtain total ice thickness, white ice thickness and snow depth. From these data, the rates of ice growth and decay can be calculated, and the approximate date of maximum ice thickness can also be determined....
