Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5420. The objectives of this study are to: 1) evaluate the geologic setting including geochemistry, and dating of sediments to establish a regional history of the area; 2) investigate the geologic setting of multiple buried, massive ice bodies; and 3) develop a geologic and hazards map along the Inuvik to Tuktoyaktuk Highwa...

Principal Investigator: Wilson, Alice
Licensed Year(s): 2023 2022 2021 2020
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5475. The primary objective of this research is to determine the influence of snow manipulation on permafrost temperatures in different environments along the Inuvik to Tuktoyaktuk Highway (ITH). A secondary objective is to better understand the relationship between snow cover and ground surface temperatures in both natural...

Principal Investigator: Porter, Trevor
Licensed Year(s): 2023 2022
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5487. During the 2022 field season, the main objectives are to collect tree-ring and wedge-ice samples that will be studied to better understand changes in climate over the last 11,700 years and to identify lake sites that will be suitable for lake-sediment coring in the early spring field season. This fieldwork will focus ...
