Comparative studies of pingos and pingo clusters in the Tuktoyaktuk Peninsula, NWT and Athabasca Valles, Mars
Principal Investigator: Soare, Richard J
Licensed Year(s): 2009 2007 2006 2005 2004
Summary: The objective of this research is to compare the formation processes of pingo-like mounds near the equator in Mars vs. the development of pingos in the Tuktoyaktuk Coastlands, and evaluate whether the two mounds types could be similar. Mars is a high-priority target for the Canadian and international planetary science communities. The main driver for this is the possibility of life on the Red P...

Permafrost investigations, western arctic Canada
Principal Investigator: Burn, Chris R
Licensed Year(s): 2022 2021 2020 2019 2018 2017 2016 2015 2014 2013 2012 2011 2010 2009 2008 2007 2006 2005 2004 2003 2002 2001 2000 1999 1998
Summary: The investigator will measure change in the ground due to uplift, by the growth of a pingo and from side to side by the ground cooling in winter. Air, ground water and lake temperatures will be measured. This information will be used to understand how permafrost is responding to climate variation. Travel to sites is by helicopter and snow machine. At the site the investigators will stay at a cab...
