Principal Investigator: Perkin, Ron G.
Licensed Year(s): 1985
Summary: To begin monitoring of the temperature and salinity of upper layers of the Arctic Ocean using a self recording package with conductivity and temperature sensors suspended under the ice....

Principal Investigator: Vincent, Jean-Serge
Licensed Year(s): 1985
Summary: To map, describe and explain the unconsolidated deposits, landforms, permafrost, and organic cover, and undertake geomorphic process studies in order to provide aerial knowledge of geology and terrain that will (a) aid in the implementation of the Territorial Land Use Regulations; (b) be pertinent to engineering construction; (c) provide data relative to terrain sensitivity rating; and (d) elucida...

Principal Investigator: St-Onge, Denis A.
Licensed Year(s): 1985
Summary: To collect small specimens, mostly of unconsolidated sediments, in order to determine their nature, origin and age....

Principal Investigator: Semmel, Arno
Licensed Year(s): 1985
Summary: To obtain more information about periglacial process and environments in a formerly unglaciated area with regard to slope denundation and fluvial process. To show the differences between areas of continuous and discontinuous permafrost. To investigate along the Dempster Highway different valley-profiles by mapping the geomorphological features and to take soil samples....

Principal Investigator: Dyke, Larry
Licensed Year(s): 1985
Summary: To re-occupy sites established on Melville Island for the measurement of frost heaving of bedrock. These sites consist of arrays of survey markers which are periodically resurveyed using a theodolite and stadia rod....

Principal Investigator: Melling, Humfrey
Licensed Year(s): 1985
Summary: To install current meters and tide gauges beneath the sea surface to measure and record flow and sea-level for 12 months; pack ice motion and surface wind will be measured by drifting instruments for two months - to enable the prediction of ice motion several days in advance....

Principal Investigator: Ritchie, J.C.
Licensed Year(s): 1985
Summary: April - to take 5 cm diamete rcores of unconsolidated lake mud from 6 small lakes; July - to conduct a survey of the vegetation surrounding the lakes sampled in the above winter coring operation....

Principal Investigator: Mackay, J.R.
Licensed Year(s): 1985
Summary: To do continuing research to understand the origin of permafrost, the ice within permafrost and the processes that help create the present geocryologic environment....

Principal Investigator: Sherstone, David A.
Licensed Year(s): 1984
Summary: Study winter ice thickness in the Mackenzie Delta....

Principal Investigator: Schunke, Ekkehard
Licensed Year(s): 1984
Summary: Collecting observations and measurements of surface forms and surface processess, soils, permafrost, and hydrology....
