Principal Investigator:Yamashita, Akira Licensed Year(s):
1995
Summary:
The researchers will observe crystal formation from ice fog through the collection of samples for microscopic observation and through the taking of photographs/video of optical phenomena produced by floating ice crystals. Particle counting and cloud condensation nucleus counting at the observation site will also be done....
Principal Investigator:Schunke, Ekkehard Licensed Year(s):2000
1994
19921990 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....
Principal Investigator:Gregor, Dennis J. Licensed Year(s):
1993
Summary:
Contaminants are carried in the air to the arctic during the winter when large-scale wind movements bring these contaminants from industrialized locations in North America, Europe and Asia to the north. Snow can collect these compounds from the air and bring them to the ground where they can accumulate. Thus, it is important to study the amount of contaminants in snow to determine the types and ...

1992 Summary:
Previous research has indicated that compounds containing bromine could play a role in the destruction of the ozone layer. This study is part of on-going research that is examining how important northern marine waters are as sources of bromine to the Arctic atmosphere. Seawater, snow and ice will be collected and assessed for bromine. In addition, measurements will be taken to determine if seaw...

1993
1992 Summary:
This on-going research involves the assessment of isotopes in snowpack each winter. Collection of snow and ice at various sites along winter roads in the N.W.T. provides information about the composition of isotopes within a region. Isotopic composition of snow and ice taken from ice cores in Greenland and Antarctica have been able to provide information about past climates....

199119911990 Summary:
Snow samples will be collected from approximately 30 sites across the NWT and Yukon in the spring of the year. This annual snow pack sample will allow an estimate of the quantity of organic contaminants that have been deposited over the winter season. To better understand the fate of these contaminants in the High Arctic, the researchers will undertake an intensive small basin study on Cornwallis ...
Principal Investigator:Viren, Tom Licensed Year(s):
1991
Summary:
Mr. Lonnie Dupre, Mr. Malcolm Vance and Mr. Jon Nierenburg will collect snow and plant material samples on behalf of Mr. Derik Muir, Department of Fisheries and Oceans, Canada and Mr. Dan Jaffe, Geophysical Institute, University of Alaska, Fairbanks....
Principal Investigator:Prowse, Terry D Licensed Year(s):
1987
Summary:
To study river ice jams and break up in the Fort Simpson region, to study Mackenzie River and Delta ice break up as well as the water balance in Mackenzie Delta Lakes. To study snow-soil interactions near Resolute Bay....
Principal Investigator:Anderson, John C. Licensed Year(s):
1978
Summary:
1. To conduct hydrologic studies with regard to highway construction. Measurements of pre-melt snow, ice covers, snow melt, rainfall, stream discharge, suspended sediment concentrations and water temperature in rivers will be taken. 2. Some aerial and road based reconnaissance will also be undertaken....
Principal Investigator:MacKay, D. Licensed Year(s):
1975
Summary:
To determine how spilled oil behaves and interacts wit the northern environment; how far and how quickly spilled oil will spread on land and in water. To ascertain how low temperatures and snow affect its spread; how deeply oil penetrates into the vegetation, litter or peat and mineral soil layers and what proportion will be lost to evaporation. To provide an indication of the area which would b...
