Summary: The Coastal Impacts project on the Beaufort Sea coast has two complementary objectives: 1. To improve our understanding of coastal processes; 2. To develop methods for prediction of coastal impacts of changing climate. Field work will be performed in the modern Mackenzie Delta, along the Tuktoyaktuk Peninsula coast, and at North Head if time permits. Collaborative field work in Ivva...

Principal Investigator: Hill, Philip R.
Licensed Year(s): 1994 1993 1992
Summary: The researchers will examine the rate of coastal change in the outer Mackenzie Delta region in order to understand the factors contributing to present delta formation and coastal erosion, and to understand how global climate warming may affect coastal change. Surveys on beaches, sand bars and delta lakes will be conducted....

Principal Investigator: Hequette, Arnaud
Licensed Year(s): 1993 1992 1991
Summary: The Researcher and team will conduct cliff and beach surveys to measure change in the shoreline position. They will also survey shallow lagoon and nearshore zones in the area of Drift Point and Atkinson Point. Seafloor sediment samples will be collected using a grap sampler and a portable piston corer....
