Active Layer Monitoring Network in the Mackenzie Valley
Principal Investigator: Nixon, Frederick M
Licensed Year(s): 2008 2007 2006 2005 2004 2003 2002 2001 2000 1999 1998 1997 1996 1995 1994 1993 1992 1991 1990
Summary: The active layer, overlying the permafrost layer, is the surface earth material that thaws and re-freezes each year. Active layer thickness and character can influence hunting, fishing, forestry, gardening, transportation and construction. Changes in the active layer can contribute to landslides which may damage structures, hamper transportation, affect water quality, and influence surface and sub...

Principal Investigator: Kokelj, Steven V
Licensed Year(s): 2004 2003 2002 2001 2000 2000 1999
Summary: This research will investigate: A) the physical and chemical characteristics of permafrost in the Mackenzie Delta region to identify areas of ice-rich permafrost or thaw sensitive terrain. Second; B) the effect of permafrost degradation on water quality...


Water Quality Assessment and Climate History of Selected Ponds and Streams on Melville Island
Principal Investigator: Douglas, Marianne
Licensed Year(s): 2002 2000 1999
Summary: The overall goal of the research is to more fully understand the present-day water quality of arctic lakes and ponds, and to attempt to determine if the water quality of these sites are changing as a result of, for example, recent climatic change or othe...


Mass movements in the Aklavik Mountains and Water Quality in the Richardson Mountain Catchments
Principal Investigator: LAURIOL, Bernard
Licensed Year(s): 1998
Summary: The aim of the study of mass movements in the Richardson Mountains is to understand the processes of erosion related to climate changes. The site to be studied is located south of Little Fish Creek. The landscape looks like bench forms which are named Cryoplanation terrasses. This site was visited last year for 2-3 hours. Their formation are not really understood but we suspect that the melting of...
