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...


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....


Ice Thickness Topography Study - Beaufort Sea
Principal Investigator: Melling, Humfrey
Licensed Year(s): 1996 1995 1994 1993 1992 1991 1990
Summary: As part of an on-going study, sonar instruments will be recovered through the ice at three locations on the continental shelf that is located north and east of Tuktoyaktuk. The sonars provide information about the motion, thickness and ridging of sea ice. A survey of seawater properties, including temperature and salinity, will also be conducted at selected sites....


Influence of Stream Discharge on the Distribution of Sea Ice with Climatic Implications
Principal Investigator: Dean, Ken
Licensed Year(s): 1991 1990
Summary: Satellite imagery, hydrologic data and field measurements will be used to develop a computer model of the thawing of sea ice and freezing of water in this area. The investigators will drill a hole through the ice and measure water temperature, salinity and turbidity....


Beaufort Sea Ice Motion Programme - Wintertime Hydrography
Principal Investigator: Melling, Humfrey
Licensed Year(s): 1988 1987
Summary: To obtain better understanding of the role which wintertime freezing over the Mackenzie shelf of the Beaufort Sea plays in maintaining the peculiar cold haocline of the Arctic Ocean. Measurements will also show light on the regional ice budget, and on the recycling of nutrients to the surface layer by the wintertime haline circulation. Field study involves the measurement of the temperature, sal...


Licence #5068
Principal Investigator: Perkin, Ron G.
Licensed Year(s): 1985
Summary: To begin monitoring of the temperature and salinity of upper layers of the Arctic Ocean using a self recording package with conductivity and temperature sensors suspended under the ice....


Licence #2276
Principal Investigator: Anderson, John C.
Licensed Year(s): 1978
Summary: 1. To conduct hydrologic studies with regard to highway construction. Measurements of pre-melt snow, ice covers, snow melt, rainfall, stream discharge, suspended sediment concentrations and water temperature in rivers will be taken. 2. Some aerial and road based reconnaissance will also be undertaken....
