This season, a team will survey sites from Fort Simpson to the Arctic Coast in July. Research Centre will take late season measurements north and south of Inuvik as part of a cooperative program. Travel will be by road, small boat on the river and helicopter from Inuvik. Access to the sites is always on foot. This year is the eighth annual survey of a network of thaw depth measuring devices (thaw ...
