Active Layer Monitoring Network in the Mackenzie Valley – Snow Monitoring Component
Principal Investigator: Nixon, Fredrick M.
Licensed Year(s): 2008
Summary: The objective of this project is to conduct snow surveys at selected sites in the Mackenzie Delta, related to permafrost studies. Snow surveys will be carried out at three selected sites in the Delta during early April. These are Circumpolar Active Layer Monitoring Program sites. There is a grid marked on these locations, where the researchers will be measuring the snow pack and snow density. M...


Active Layer Monitoring Network in the Mackenzie Valley
Principal Investigator: Nixon, Frederick M
Licensed Year(s): 2008 2007 2006 2005 2004 2003 2002 2001 2000 1999 1998 1997 1996 1995 1994 1993 1992 1991 1990
Summary: The active layer is the earth overlying permafrost that thaws from the surface and re-freezes each year, and it responds to climate change. Active layer thickness influences vegetation and soil conditions, potentially influencing hunting, forestry, etc. and it’s, thickness, texture and moisture content affects foundations. Changes in the active layer and thaw depth can contribute to slope instabil...


Relations between snow, near-surface ground temperatures, and ground ice, Kendall Island Bird Sanctuary, Mackenzie Delta, NWT
Principal Investigator: Morse, Peter D
Licensed Year(s): 2008 2007 2006
Summary: The purpose of this project is to complete the determination of the variation and distribution of near-surface ground ice at Kendall Island Bird Sanctuary (KIBS) begun in 2006. The aim is to collect ground ice samples along previously established vegetation and snow courses within distinct terrain units and transition zones, and to determine the relations between ground ice configuration and the s...


Environmental conditions at abandoned drilling mud-sumps in the Kendall Island Bird Sanctuary, Mackenzie Delta Region
Principal Investigator: Kokelj, Steven V
Licensed Year(s): 2006 2005
Summary: Since the 1970's, the oil and gas industry has drilled at least 19 exploratory wells in the Kendall Island Bird Sanctuary (KIBS), but there is a shortage of field data describing environmental conditions at the well-sites and drilling-mud sumps. In Marc...


Snow Accumulation/Runoff in High Latitude Permafrost Basins
Principal Investigator: Marsh, Philip
Licensed Year(s): 2005 2004 2003 2002 2001 2000 1999 1998 1997 1996 1995 1994 1993 1992 1990
Summary: The primary objective of this project is to improve understanding of the fluxes of water and energy in northern regions, and to develop improved computer models of these processes. The Trail Valley Creek site will be accessed by helicopter and snowmobile...
