Principal Investigator: Melling, Humfrey
Licensed Year(s): 1996 1995 1994 1993 1992 1991 1990
Summary: Dr. Melling and his research team will continue to study ice in the Beaufort Sea. Sonar instruments will be deployed at two locations, will operate at 50-80m depth and be recovered in April, 1991. They will also survey seawater properties at selected sites offshore. This is the eighth year the seawater survey has been conducted in the Beaufort Sea in late winter....

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....

Principal Investigator: Burn, Chris R
Licensed Year(s): 1990 1987
Summary: The research team will monitor the amount of heave that occurs in lake-bottom sediments during winter, after water freezes to the bottom of lakes, because these environments are the best for examining the hydrology of frost heaving....

Principal Investigator: Slaymaker, Olav
Licensed Year(s): 1982
Summary: To survey and interpret any geological changes which might have occurred at the mouth of the Horton River....

Principal Investigator: Mathers, J.S.
Licensed Year(s): 1982
Summary: To continue a hydrologic study of the Mackenzie Delta. Automatic photographic level recorders will be installed at various sites in the Delta....

Principal Investigator: Worsley, Peter
Licensed Year(s): 1981
Summary: To conduct a general study of land forms, geological and glacial processes, a study of the soils and sedimentation process in the rivers. Samples of soil, molluscs and vegetation will also be collected for future lab analysis....

Principal Investigator: Terroux, A.C.D.
Licensed Year(s): 1981
Summary: (1) Ice thickness determination - Mackenzie Delta Channels - April 1981. (2) Aerial photography of ice break- up - along Mackenzie River - May/June 1981. (3) Monitoring of Mackenzie Delta Lake Process (break-up, etc.) using time lapsed photography - April - November 1981. (4) Inuvik-Tuktoyaktuk Highway Hydrology Study (water distribution, etc.) April/November 1981 (aerial surveys)....

Principal Investigator: Sims, Richard A. Sims
Licensed Year(s): 1980
Summary: To conduct a low level (2000 ft. above groud level) a high level (30,000 ft. A.G.L.) aerial surveys of the reindeer rangeland. Ground truthing will also take place along with collection of plants, soil and water made to complete the study....
