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 researcher will continue to collect samples of ground ice and measure temperatures in lakes and ponds. This information is used to help understand how the ground heaves as it freezes in winter, and to determine the extent of soil settlement during thaw in summer. The information about lakes is used to help understand the relations between water depths and temperatures beneath the lake....

Pleistocene sand wedges and thermal contraction cracks on Richards Island
Principal Investigator: French, Hugh
Licensed Year(s): 1993
Summary: My research is about cracks in permafrost that have been filled in with wind-blown sand. In cliffs, these filled-in crackes appear as `veins' of sand. I will record the distribution and characteristics of these veins of sand. This information may help to determine the history behind how the cracks formed and the environmental conditions of the Mackenzie Delta up to 40,000 years ago....

Palynology and Stratigraphy of the Lower Cretaceous MT. Goodenough Formation, Aklavik Range, NWT
Principal Investigator: McIntyre, David J.
Licensed Year(s): 1992 1990
Summary: The Researchers will collect rock samples for study of fossil algae (dinoflagellates) and will determine the geological age. They will correlate findings with similar material from wells and will determine climate and environment conditions at the time the rocks were deposited....

Early Quaternary and Late Tertiary Geology and Geomorphology, Arctic Islands
Principal Investigator: Fyles, John G.
Licensed Year(s): 1992 1991 1990
Summary: On Melville and Bathurst Islands, the Researchers will locate and describe the occurrence of high-level gravels and sands, record evidence of the flow-direction of the rivers in which they originated and search for plant and insect fossils that may provide clues about the age of these deposits and about the climate and environment at that time....

Quaternary Geology and Periglacial Geomorphology of Banks Island
Principal Investigator: Worsley, Peter
Licensed Year(s): 1988
Summary: Dr. Worsley is coming from England with his research associates to continue his studies of how the rocks, landscape, and permafrost of Banks Island have changed in the last million years. He is interested in using this information to try to determine what conditions where like in England long ago....
