Summary:
The objective of the program is to map areas along the right-of-way where the ground is unfrozen (taliks) and to locate ice wedges and larger, deeper areas of massive ice, in the Inuvialuit Settlement Region. Shallow geophysical surveys will provide information on subsurface conditions. ARGO tracked vehicles will tow geophysical instruments (EM31, Ohm Mapper, or GEM-2) behind them. A ground-penetr...

Summary:
This is a study of retrogressive thaw sumps produced by the exposure and melting of massive ice in continuous permafrost (Richardson Range, NWT). These sumps are recently occurring and presumably a result of global climate change. This research will recognize retrogressive thaw slumps that have massive ice, identify the type of massive ice (glacier buried or segregated) and measure the rate of ...

Summary:
This project is intended to determine the amount by which fluids disposed of in abandoned oil well drilling mud disposal pits (sumps) have migrated into surrounding frozen ground. The sumps are not presently considered to pose any kind of environmental hazard but they do offer a unique opportunity to determine the effectiveness of permafrost as a containment for waste fluids. The main activity i...

Summary:
To measure the energy exchange, rate of headwall retreat and water balance of a number of ground slumps. This is a continuation of a study began in 1983....
