Summary:
This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5270.
The objective of this research is to determine the accuracy of existing physical models of the InSAR (Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar) dry snow signal; and, if the snow signature can be removed to enable accurate measurement of heave from winter refreezing in the active layer.
There are currently three res...

Summary:
This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5196.
The goal for this expedition is to collect ground-truth data for two prior airborne campaigns conducted in 2018 and 2019. The data obtained from radar remote sensing of the area around Trail Valley Creek represent a complex signal from the vegetation, active layer, and permafrost. Based on prior field expeditions, the...

Summary:
The objectives are to measure a suite of trace elements and isotopes (TEIs) in the active layer and permanently frozen layer of permafrost cores sampled near the Mackenzie River, and to compare these concentrations to those observed in submarine groundwater discharge and Mackenzie River discharge in order to determine whether permafrost-associated TEIs are being transported to the coastal Arctic. ...

Summary:
Uniform permafrost and ground surface temperature measurements are one of the more important databases for long-term climatic study as well as remote sensing ground truthing data. Consistency in sensor depth, casing and drilling methods helps in comparison of the spatial and temporal distribution of the permafrost and seasonal conditions. The proposed partnership with the schools aids continuous m...

The objective of this research is to take multiple samples of the active layer of permafrost in areas where patterned ground and thermokarst are present. The data gained will assist in understanding possible cold climate processes in the northern hemisphere of Mars.
In recent years, cold-climate landscapes on Earth have come to play an important role in understanding landscapes on Mars. This wo...
