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...


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 goal of this research is to monitor the coastal response to storms and coastal vulnerability to climate change. The primary objectives of this project are to: 1) map the western Canadian Arctic coastline in terms of its sensitivity to coastal erosion...


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....
