Snow accumulation/runoff in high latitude permafrost basins
Principal Investigator: Marsh, Philip
Licensed Year(s): 2005 2004 2003 2002 2001 2000 1999 1998 1997 1996 1995 1994 1993 1992 1990
Summary: The primary objective of this project is to improve understanding of the changes in water and energy in northern regions, and to develop improved computer models of these processes. The Trail Valley Creek, Hans Creek, and Zed Creek sites will be accessed...


Permafrost investigations, Mackenzie Delta region, N.W.T.
Principal Investigator: Kokelj, Steven V
Licensed Year(s): 2004 2003 2002 2001 2000 2000 1999
Summary: This study investigates the physical and chemical characteristics of permafrost in the Mackenzie Delta region. The thawing of ice-rich permafrost can result in subsidence or terrain instability. Determination of thaw-sensitive terrain is required to pla...


Testing of Surface Geophysical Techniques for the Detection of Ice-bonded Permafrost
Principal Investigator: Good, Ron
Licensed Year(s): 2002
Summary: This research is part of an ongoing program to develop geophysical standards for pipeline route surveying. This line has been chosen because past shallow drilling programs on this line have provided us with a great deal of ground truth, geology, temperat...


The Influence of Snowcover on the Ground Surface Temperature in Permafrost
Principal Investigator: Riseborough, Dan
Licensed Year(s): 2001 2000
Summary: This study will attempt to understand and predict how cold the ground surface gets in the winter under snow. Transportation to the site will be by helicopter and accommodation at the site will be in tents or at an existing cabin. Travel from camps to sample sites will be by foot. Electronic data recorders were installed in August 2000 to record air, ground and surface temperature through the wi...


Investigation of ground ice development in sediments of the Mackenzie delta area.
Principal Investigator: Burn, Chris R
Licensed Year(s): 1997 1996 1995 1994 1993 1992 1991
Summary: The purpose is to collect samples of ground ice and to measure air, ground, and lake temperatures. We use the information to help understand how the permafrost in the area has changed in the last few thousands years, in order to determine what might happen in the future....


Licence #2111
Principal Investigator: Wankiewicz, Anthony
Licensed Year(s): 1977
Summary: To study permafrost near Arctic streams at sites near Inuvik and several locations in the Keewatin. This study is to provide baseline information on coupled heat-transfer processes relevant to cold gas pipeline stream crossings. The ground temperature will be monitored at stream cross sections at the different sites....
