Deltaic Lake Sediments as Recorders of Past Carbon Export from Arctic River Drainage Basins
Principal Investigator: Vonk, Jorien
Licensed Year(s): 2011 2009 2007
Summary: The research project goal is to collect surface sediments, bank and levee sediments, particulate sediments and shallow sediment cores from lakes in the Mackenie River Delta, and to evaluate their utility as potential archives of information concerning past permafrost stability by assessing down-core changes in the age and supply of terrestrial carbon. In 2007 and 2009, teams led by Prof. Tim Eglin...


Permafrost Adjustment to Coastal and Deltaic Processes: Beaufort Sea and Mackenzie Delta
Principal Investigator: Dyke, Larry
Licensed Year(s): 1992 1991 1990
Summary: The research will involve permafrost adjustment studies on the outer Delta as well as preliminary work on landslide mechanisms along the Mackenzie River between Norman Wells and the head of the Mackenzie Delta. The purpose of the work is to understand the importance of sedimentary processes in controlling the growth and disappearance of permafrost along the coast of the Beaufort Sea....


Mackenzie Delta Permafrost/Geology Transect
Principal Investigator: Dallimore, Scott R
Licensed Year(s): 1994 1993 1993 1992 1992 1991
Summary: A transect consisting of geotechnical boreholes and detailed geophysical studies will document the geological, geothermal and geotechnical conditions of perennially frozen sediments at three sites on Richards Island in the Mackenzie Delta....


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 and his team will continue to examine the hydrology of frost heave in the environment of a lake bottom. They will also conduct their study in land environments in the outer Delta and examine the distribution of ice in the upper layers of permafrost....


Coastal Geology of Northern Richards Island, Canadian Beaufort Sea
Principal Investigator: Forbes, D.L.
Licensed Year(s): 1991 1990
Summary: Geophysical surveys will be carried out from a 40-foot vessel and from 16-foot rubber boats to deploy current meters at two sites in water depths approximately 2 meters, to collect beach, cliff and seabed sediment samples and to survey beach and cliff morphology using theodolites and surveyors instruments....
