Improved measurements of Arctic snowfall using a novel interdisciplinary approach (A-Snow) - Atmospheric science component
Principal Investigator: Thériault, Julie Mireille
Licensed Year(s): 2024
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5743. The objective of this proposal is to develop a next-generation method to accurately measure Arctic snowfall under a range of environmental conditions typical across the Arctic. The specific objectives are: 1) Measure key snowfall parameters using state-of-the-art instruments as required to estimate snowfall during t...

Variability and Change in the Canadian Cryosphere - Tundra Information Transferability Study
Principal Investigator: Walker, Anne E
Licensed Year(s): 2008
Summary: Environment Canada plans to measure snow depth, snow density and snow water equivalent (water storage in the snowpack), as well as lake ice thickness and structure for comparison with microwave radiometer measurements. Researchers have started to use microwave data from satellites for assessing snow water equivalent (SWE). Field tests to investigate the use of microwave sensors indicate that SW...

Variation of near-surface ground temperatures in spruce forests, Mackenzie Delta, Northwest Territories
Principal Investigator: Kanigan, Julian
Licensed Year(s): 2007 2006
Summary: An understanding of near-surface ground temperatures will provide a baseline to assess change and identify sensitive areas. The objective of this project is to determine the variation of near-surface ground temperatures within the Mackenzie Delta. Investigations have identified four spruce forest communities in the delta based on composition: spruce-alder-bearberry, spruce-feathermoss, spruce-crow...

Environmental Soil Chemistry at Abandoned Drilling Mud-Sumps in the Kendall Island Bird Sanctuary, Mackenzie Delta Region
Principal Investigator: Biggar, Kevin
Licensed Year(s): 2006 2005
Summary: Since the 1970s, the oil and gas industry has drilled at least nineteen exploratory wells in the Kendall Island Bird Sanctuary. Observations at associated drilling mud-sumps have been made; however, there remains a paucity of field data describing site conditions. It is also appreciated that construction of the proposed Mackenzie Valley pipeline will stimulate the development of Niglintgak and Tag...

Mass Balance of Arctic Glaciers
Principal Investigator: Koerner, Roy M
Licensed Year(s): 2008 2007 2006 2005 2004 2003
Summary: This study monitors glacier health and climatic change in the high Arctic and is part of an ongoing program that began in the early 1960s. It is also part of a larger program studying climate change. Base camp is located at the Polar Continental Shelf...
