Relations between ground ice and geomorphic setting, Kendall Island Bird Sanctuary, Mackenzie Delta, NWT
Principal Investigator: Morse, Peter D
Licensed Year(s): 2008 2007 2006
Summary: This licence was issued for the scientific research licence application number 748. The project objective is to determine how near-surface wedge ice volumes are related to geomorphic setting, which reflects soil physical properties, moisture contents, and process and duration of ice formation. Wedge ice geometry will be measured with a hand-held CRREL drill, permafrost cores extracted, and s...


Arctic Analogues of Utopia and western Elysium Planitia, Mars
Principal Investigator: Soare, Richard J
Licensed Year(s): 2009 2007 2006 2005 2004
Summary: This project’s objective is to take multiple, small .25kg samples of the active layer of permafrost in areas where patterned ground and thermokarst are present. The data gained will help the researchers in their efforts to understand possible cold climate processes in the northern hemisphere of Mars. The researchers intend to visit areas in the vicinity of Inuvik and Tuktoyaktuk where polygonal...


Effects of climate change on coastal geomorphology and benthic biotic communities, southwestern Banks Island
Principal Investigator: Edinger, Evan N
Licensed Year(s): 2005
Summary: Climate change is affecting coastlines and coastal communities across Arctic Canada. Communities in the Western Arctic, including Sachs Harbour, have described a variety of effects, including warmer temperatures, reduced sea ice thickness, longer duration of open water in summer, increased wave activity, and new or early arrivals of migratory animals. These effects can have a variety of impacts ...


Integrated Geoscience Studies of the Mackenzie Delta and Nearby Coastal Environments
Principal Investigator: Wright, Fred J
Licensed Year(s): 2012 2011 2010 2009 2008 2007 2006 2004
Summary: This pilot study will address identified gaps in knowledge critical for assessing the impacts of regional oil and gas development in the vicinity of the Mackenzie Delta and Richards Island, with respect to exploration and drilling activities, well-head a...


Coastal Hazards, Relative Sea-level Change, and Climate Impacts on Northern Coasts and Seaways
Principal Investigator: Forbes, Donald L
Licensed Year(s): 2006 2005 2004 2003 2002 2001
Summary: The western Canadian Arctic coast is one of the most rapidly changing coastlines in the world and among the most vulnerable to climate change. The causes of this vulnerability have been studied over the past decade. This project involves monitoring coast...


Summer 2001 Hydrology Surveys within the Gwich'in Settlement Region: Biophysical Baseline Studies in support of the Mackenzie Delta Gas Feasibility Study
Principal Investigator: Sawetsky, Les
Licensed Year(s): 2001
Summary: A detailed data collection program will be undertaken on 20 streams. All major streams will be included in the survey. The proposed survey will begin in late July and continue until early September 2001, and will consist of comprehensive studies at selected streams, as discussed below, to define how the streams behave and how they change in time. The focus of the hydrology component is on descr...

Geomorphologic and Hydrologic Analysis of Surface Features of the Mackenzie Delta, NT Using Spacial Image Analysis.
Principal Investigator: Boyes, Donald M.
Licensed Year(s): 1995 1994 1990
Summary: The collection of the field data is required to collaborate satellite image classifications and interpretations concerning water body measurements, plant community types and sedimentation patterns. Field measurements will include measuring ground distances and recording plant characteristics. Nothing in the field area will be destroyed or removed....


Geomorphological and hydrological research on valley formation in arctic and subarctic environments
Principal Investigator: Schunke, Ekkehard
Licensed Year(s): 2000 1994 1992 1990
Summary: The researchers will continue their study, initiated in 1990, on the geological and hydrological processes which contribute to valley formation in the subarctic and arctic. Data will be collected on various aspects of water runoff and sediment content. This data, along with long-term environmental data collected by Environment Canada, will contribute to our knowledge about valley formation....
