Principal Investigator:French, Hugh Licensed Year(s):
1993
Summary:
My research is about cracks in permafrost that have been filled in with wind-blown sand. In cliffs, these filled-in crackes appear as `veins' of sand. I will record the distribution and characteristics of these veins of sand. This information may help to determine the history behind how the cracks formed and the environmental conditions of the Mackenzie Delta up to 40,000 years ago....

199219921991 Summary:
The Geological Survey of Canada, as part of its on-going research activities, is planning to carry out a geotechnical survey in order to improve certain techniques used in investigating permafrost and ground ice characteristics. The techniques used are shear wave seismic reflection profiling (to determine soil properties) and drilling (to determine the origin of massive ground ice bodies in the v...

1990 Summary:
This year's work continues the measurement of creep (movement) of ice-rich slopes in permafrost. Landslide distribution in the lower Mackenzie Delta (Norman Wells area) is also being mapped....

1992
19911990 Summary:
The research will involve permafrost adjustment studies on the outer Delta as well as preliminary work on landslide mechanisms along the Mackenzie River between Norman Wells and the head of the Mackenzie Delta. The purpose of the work is to understand the importance of sedimentary processes in controlling the growth and disappearance of permafrost along the coast of the Beaufort Sea....

1991 Summary:
The Researcher will continue to investigate the relationship between the architectural and technical aspects of buildings and severe northern climate....
Principal Investigator:Tarnocai, C. Licensed Year(s):
1991
Summary:
This tour and the associated meetings will focus on the genesis, classification and management of permafrost soils (Cryosols) and the possible effect of climate change on these soils....
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:French, Hugh Licensed Year(s):
1990
Summary:
The Researchers will conduct initial exploration of potential sites for the purpose of undertaking stratigraphic and geomorphological investigations....
Principal Investigator:Fujino, Kazuo Licensed Year(s):
1990
Summary:
The Researcher and field team will conduct a geological survey and topographic traverse survey around the massive ground ice. They will take samples for ecological study and geochemical analysis....
Principal Investigator:Begin, Christian Licensed Year(s):
1990
Summary:
The research team will investigate a few localities to determine the best sites to study eolian deposits (sand dunes) and features related to permafrost degradation. Samples of granular and organic deposits will be taken....
