Multi-methodological three-dimensional investigation of open- and closed-system Pingos in northwestern Canada (Pingo3D)
Principal Investigator: Kneisel, Christof
Licensed Year(s): 2023
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5654. This research project aims to investigate the three-dimensional internal structure of pingos in the Mackenzie Delta Region. The focus is on small-scale heterogeneities and a detailed delineation of ice-rich or unfrozen areas within, underneath and in close proximity to different pingos. High-resolution, three-dimensi...


Investigations of coastal ice exposures as analogues to ice-exposing scarps on Mars
Principal Investigator: Koutnik, Michelle
Licensed Year(s): 2023
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5390. The research team propose investigating icy Arctic scarps as analogues for ice-exposing scarps on Mars. Scarp-side exposures of massive tabular ice, overlain by a polygonized overburden dotted with thermokarstic depressions, occur in the continuous and extremely deep permafrost of the Tuktoyaktuk Coastlands in the Can...


Lake and River Ice Fieldwork in support of PermASAR data analysis
Principal Investigator: van der Sanden, Josephus J
Licensed Year(s): 2019
Summary: This project aims to undertake fieldwork in the context of the PermASAR winter campaign. The data collected will support the evaluation and development of radar satellite Earth observation (EO) technology for application to the mapping of river and lake ice processes and properties. The research team expect the fieldwork to take place over a period of two to three weeks in the months of Februar...


PermASAR - Airborne SAR campaign on permafrost soils and boreal forests in the Canadian North-West
Principal Investigator: Hajnsek, Irena
Licensed Year(s): 2019 2018
Summary: For this project the research team will conduct the collection of microwave radar backscatter data of permafrost and boreal forest at wavelengths of 3cm (X-band), 6cm (C-band), 10cm (S-band) and 23cm (L-band). This process will capture two stable permafrost active layer states: thawed and frozen. The research team will derive information about permafrost (e.g. soil status, soil moisture) and about...


Remote Sensing and Geophysics of Tundra Landscapes
Principal Investigator: Ullmann, Tobias
Licensed Year(s): 2019 2018
Summary: The proposed project will investigate the possibility of linking field-measured characteristics of tundra landscapes (e.g., active layer thickness, soil moisture, plant distribution and ecosystem composition, etc.) with remotely-sensed data. The overall objective of the project is to identify the connections that exist between observable surface properties and their associated subsurface/permafros...


Massive Ice Study in Granular Deposits
Principal Investigator: Pollard, Wayne H
Licensed Year(s): 2006 2005 2004 2003
Summary: Sand, gravel and crushed stone are valuable geological resources, collectively known as aggregates. They are essential bed, foundation and building materials. The presence of massive ice in aggregate deposits results in a series of resource management problems, particularly for the oil industry and its contractors who rely on local granular deposits as building material. From an environmental pers...
