This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5654.
This research project aims to investigate the three-dimensional internal structure of pingos in the Mackenzie Delta Region. The focus is on small-scale heterogeneities and a detailed delineation of ice-rich or unfrozen areas within, underneath and in close proximity to different pingos. High-resolution, three-dimensi...

Summary:
This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5390.
The research team propose investigating icy Arctic scarps as analogues for ice-exposing scarps on Mars. Scarp-side exposures of massive tabular ice, overlain by a polygonized overburden dotted with thermokarstic depressions, occur in the continuous and extremely deep permafrost of the Tuktoyaktuk Coastlands in the Can...

Summary:
This project aims to undertake fieldwork in the context of the PermASAR winter campaign. The data collected will support the evaluation and development of radar satellite Earth observation (EO) technology for application to the mapping of river and lake ice processes and properties.
The research team expect the fieldwork to take place over a period of two to three weeks in the months of Februar...

2018 Summary:
For this project the research team will conduct the collection of microwave radar backscatter data of permafrost and boreal forest at wavelengths of 3cm (X-band), 6cm (C-band), 10cm (S-band) and 23cm (L-band). This process will capture two stable permafrost active layer states: thawed and frozen. The research team will derive information about permafrost (e.g. soil status, soil moisture) and about...
