Principal Investigator: Ullmann, Tobias
Licensed Year(s): 2019 2018
Summary: The proposed project will investigate the possibility of linking field-measured characteristics of tundra landscapes (e.g., active layer thickness, soil moisture, plant distribution and ecosystem composition, etc.) with remotely-sensed data. The overall objective of the project is to identify the connections that exist between observable surface properties and their associated subsurface/permafros...

Principal Investigator: Howland, William G.
Licensed Year(s): 1987
Summary: To continue the study of plants and landforms, including areas of landslide, in the Caribou Hills. To examine the plants that have revegetated, to observe what species seem most capable of natural revegetation and how much erosion or plant growth has developed in 10 years. To prepare a species list for plants near the East Channel....

Principal Investigator: Vincent, Jean-Serge
Licensed Year(s): 1985
Summary: To map, describe and explain the unconsolidated deposits, landforms, permafrost, and organic cover, and undertake geomorphic process studies in order to provide aerial knowledge of geology and terrain that will (a) aid in the implementation of the Territorial Land Use Regulations; (b) be pertinent to engineering construction; (c) provide data relative to terrain sensitivity rating; and (d) elucida...

Principal Investigator: Semmel, Arno
Licensed Year(s): 1985
Summary: To obtain more information about periglacial process and environments in a formerly unglaciated area with regard to slope denundation and fluvial process. To show the differences between areas of continuous and discontinuous permafrost. To investigate along the Dempster Highway different valley-profiles by mapping the geomorphological features and to take soil samples....

Principal Investigator: Schunke, Ekkehard
Licensed Year(s): 1984
Summary: Collecting observations and measurements of surface forms and surface processess, soils, permafrost, and hydrology....

Principal Investigator: Lehn, W.H.
Licensed Year(s): 1984
Summary: To investigate optical refraction in the lower layers of the atmosphere (anomalous refraction, such as the superior mirage and optical ducting). Photographic recording of land forms and their refracted images: measurement of refraction and horizon shift; some measurement of atmospheric temperatures in the lowest layers (10-15 meters); local surveys of the photographed land forms....

Principal Investigator: French, Hugh
Licensed Year(s): 1982
Summary: To continue studies of permafrost and land & terrain form related to permafrost erosional factors....

Principal Investigator: Schunke, Ekkehard
Licensed Year(s): 1981
Summary: To conduct a study of land forms, valley formations and slopes relating to the periglacial environment....

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: Allen, Eileen
Licensed Year(s): 1978
Summary: (1) Vegetation analysis in sample areas and collection of specimens. (2) Physical site analysis of soil and surface material and collection of samples for subsequent laboratory analysis. (3) Ground control studies for aerial photographic analysis of vegetation and terrain....
