Sand-wedge development, Tuktoyaktuk Coastlands
Principal Investigator: Murton, Julian B
Licensed Year(s): 2005 2001
Summary: The objectives of this research are to: describe upward growing and downward growing sand wedges; identify the relationships between wind caused sedimentation, deflation and thermal contraction cracking; and, collect samples of sand from wedges and their host material in order to estimate rates of wedge growth. The fieldwork will be based at two small fly camps at Johnson Bay and Mason Bay. The...

Stratigraphy of coastal barriers and under-ice current measurements at Atkinson Point, Tuktoyaktuk Peninsula, N.W.T.
Principal Investigator: Hequette, Arnaud
Licensed Year(s): 1993
Summary: The Canadian Beaufort Sea coast undergoes rapid changes in formation, including the formation and changes of spits and barrier islands. Climatic change, combined with a rise in sea levels, could result in longer ice-free periods, increased wave action and higher rates of coastal retreat and erosion. By measuring spits and barrier islands, analyzing the make-up of the coastal sediments, and measu...
