Principal Investigator: Korosi, Jennifer B
Licensed Year(s): 2021
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.4727. The research team will use lake sediment cores to track the history of shoreline permafrost thaw slump activity over the last several thousand years, and associated lake ecological responses to thaw slumping, in order to provide a long-term context for present-day observations. The team will select three pairs of ...

Principal Investigator: Duffe, Jason A
Licensed Year(s): 2012 2011 2010
Summary: The objectives of this research project are to: (1) fly oblique helicopter videography along the Beaufort Sea shoreline from the Alaska/Yukon border to the Northwest Territories/Nunavut border; (2) using conventional methods, interpret helicopter videography and create an Environmental Sensitivity Index map. This will consist of a vector shapefile of shoreline types; and (3) using satellite ra...

Licensed Year(s): 2012 2010 2009 2008 2007 2006 2005 2004 2003 2002
Summary: This research is concerned with the nature and style of past glaciations as well as the history of sea level and climatic changes in the western Arctic. The broad objective is to obtain a long term paleoclimatic record (before the arrival of the Pre-Dors...

Principal Investigator: Hequette, Arnaud
Licensed Year(s): 1993 1992 1991
Summary: The research will involve the survey of cliffs and beaches located along the shoreline of the Tuktoyaktuk Peninsula near Atkinson Point. This information will assist in determining if the shoreline has changed. Measurements will also be taken for water depth in the nearby lagoons and bays. Sediments will be collected from all sites visited for further laboratory analyses....

Principal Investigator: Hill, Philip R.
Licensed Year(s): 1994 1993 1992
Summary: The field activities consist of three small projects: (1) the measurement of beaches and a survey of Tibjak Beach (located 15km north of Tuktoyaktuk); (2) a study of the sand bars located at the mouth of the East Channel in Kittigazuit Bay; and (3) a preliminary study of the lakes of the Mackenzie Delta in order to determine which lakes will be selected for future research. These activities will ...

Principal Investigator: Taylor, R.B.
Licensed Year(s): 1992 1990
Summary: The researcher and his team will search for new evidence pertaining to the recent history of relative sea level so that a Holocene sea level curve can be constructed for the Arctic Island shores....

Principal Investigator: Dallimore, S.R.
Licensed Year(s): 1990 1989
Summary: The team will drill and sample five 100 meter boreholes along a transect from northern Richards Island to an anomalous permafrost site 25 Km off-shore. In site testing, geophysical and geothermal logging will accompany the drilling. Undisturbed core will be maintained and shipped to the SINT lab in Inuvik for detailed logging, testing and subsampling....

Principal Investigator: Tucker, Nigel
Licensed Year(s): 1984
Summary: (1) To examine the "state-of-the-art" regarding site selection techniques for energy facilities. (2) To visit some of the locations which have previously been identified as potential shorebase sites....
