NWT RESEARCH DATABASE

Principal Investigator: Nadji, Kayhan
Licensed Year(s): 1992 1991
Summary: This research will investigate the relationship between the architectural and technical aspects of buildings and severe northern climate....

Principal Investigator: Landhaeusser, Simon M.
Licensed Year(s): 1992 1991 1990
Summary: The Researcher and his team will seed and plant plots prepared in 1990. They will determine the germination rate, establishment and the annual growth of the seedlings. The measurements will be related to the energy input which influences these microsites....

Principal Investigator: Topham, David
Licensed Year(s): 1991
Summary: The Researcher and his team will map and measure sea ice in the southern Beaufort Sea. They will use nine ARGOS drift buoys and will operate a small remote submersible equipped with upward looking sonar....

Principal Investigator: Strickland, John I.
Licensed Year(s): 1991 1990
Summary: The Research Team will install digital radio repeaters at several sites, monitor the signal strength; measure the accuracy of data transmission over the link and establish the feasibility of the prototype design....

Principal Investigator: Erickson, Dave
Licensed Year(s): 1991
Summary: The Researcher and his team will carry out a project to improve water flow studies, channel dredging, mapping and local construction surveys....

Principal Investigator: Solomon, Steven M
Licensed Year(s): 1991
Summary: The Researcher and his team will use a hand-operated auger to take sediment cores and temperature measurements. Cores will penetrate the seabed beneath the ice to a depth of 2-3 metres. Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) will be used to investigate ground ice distribution and a current meter will be used to measure sub-ice currents along the edge of the bottom-fast ice....

Principal Investigator: Bennett, Lorne P.
Licensed Year(s): 1991
Summary: The Researcher and his assistant will follow up research conducted at the same site between 1985-87. They will compare known rates of permafrost creep with those measured following manipulation of certain field variables (i.e. alteration of the snow cover to change the natural ground thermal regime)....

Principal Investigator: Dean, Ken
Licensed Year(s): 1991 1990
Summary: Satellite imagery, hydrologic data and field measurements will be used to develop a computer model of the thawing of sea ice and freezing of water in this area. The investigators will drill a hole through the ice and measure water temperature, salinity and turbidity....

Principal Investigator: Weaver, Jeff
Licensed Year(s): 1991
Summary: The research team will spray a small area of grounded rubble with sea water and measure the sliding resistance of the rubble. They will measure ice loads on the rubble, the horizontal movement of the landfast ice sheet and the rubble field....

Principal Investigator: Seidel, Ken
Licensed Year(s): 1990
Summary: Two trap lines consisting of 60 leghold traps and 60 of the experimental trap will be set in each of the two communities. A local and experienced trapper will be hired to assist in the project. A total of 200 animals, 100 from each community, 50 from each of the two different types of traps, will be taken. All Arctic fox caught in the traps will be purchased from the trapper and sent to Edmonto...
