Relations between ground ice and geomorphic setting, Kendall Island Bird Sanctuary, Mackenzie Delta, NWT
Principal Investigator: Morse, Peter D
Licensed Year(s): 2008 2007 2006
Summary: This licence was issued for the scientific research licence application number 748. The project objective is to determine how near-surface wedge ice volumes are related to geomorphic setting, which reflects soil physical properties, moisture contents, and process and duration of ice formation. Wedge ice geometry will be measured with a hand-held CRREL drill, permafrost cores extracted, and s...


Permafrost investigations in western arctic Canada
Principal Investigator: Burn, Chris R
Licensed Year(s): 2022 2021 2020 2019 2018 2017 2016 2015 2014 2013 2012 2011 2010 2009 2008 2007 2006 2005 2004 2003 2002 2001 2000 1999 1998
Summary: Changes in the ground due to uplift, associated with the growth of a pingo, and sideways movements due to the growth of ice wedges, will be measured. Air, ground, and lake water temperatures will be measured, in order to find out how the ground is responding to climatic variation. The reseach team will also return to Paulatuk, to continue studies Dr. Mackay began there 50 years ago. Travel to s...


Near-surface ground ice in sediments of the Mackenzie Delta region, N.W.T.
Principal Investigator: Kokelj, Steven V
Licensed Year(s): 2004 2003 2002 2001 2000 2000 1999
Summary: This study investigates the distribution and amount of near-surface ground ice in sediments of the Mackenzie Delta area. The research team will consist of Steve Kokelj (Carleton University - principle researcher) and Doug Joe (Inuvik). The proposed fieldwork will begin in Inuvik in April, with the main part of the field work being carried out from 30 July to 20 August. In April, the research te...
