Summary:
This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5639.
The goal of this research project is to better understand the characteristics of various different lakes, how their characteristics vary, as well as their potential relation to permafrost thaw events in the recent or distant past. The frequency of occurrence across space and time as well as the variability of: 1) opt...

This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5168.
The specific objectives of the project are as follows:
1) Determine the spatial extent, distribution, and timing of winter icing events in streams along the Inuvik to Tuktoyaktuk Highway (ITH) through ground-based and aerial reconnaissance of stream crossings;
2) Identify relations between physical watershed charact...

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. ...

199319921991 Summary:
The researcher will continue to collect samples of ground ice and measure temperatures in lakes and ponds. This information is used to help understand how the ground heaves as it freezes in winter, and to determine the extent of soil settlement during thaw in summer. The information about lakes is used to help understand the relations between water depths and temperatures beneath the lake....

1990 Summary:
The Researchers will study the role of the snowcover in controlling both streamflow and the movement of solutes/nutrients/pollutants through both tundra and forested ecosystems. Computer models will also be developed to predict the distribution and properties of snow, its melt and runoff during the spring period, and the release of solutes/nutrients/pollutants from the snow....
