Beaufort Sea Coastal and Nearshore Geoscience Research
Principal Investigator: Whalen, Dustin JR
Licensed Year(s): 2024 2023 2022
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5583. Objectives: To update the assessment of the state of the ISR coastline; To gain a better understanding of coastal permafrost and impacts of change; and, To gain a better understanding of coastal dynamics with respect to unique ecosystems and communities. Objective 1: To update the assessment of the state of the ...


Landscapes of the Mackenzie River delta and of the Tuktoyaktuk peninsula as possible analogues for the study of Martian landform development
Principal Investigator: Soare, Richard J
Licensed Year(s): 2009 2007 2006 2005 2004
Summary: The research objective is to sample the active layer of the permafrost in areas where patterned ground and thermokarst are present. The data gained will help the researchers to understand possible cold-climate processes in the northern hemisphere of Mars. The researchers will be based in Inuvik and Tuktoyaktuk. They intend to visit areas in the vicinity of Inuvik and Tuktoyaktuk where patterned...


Investigation of ground ice development in sediments of the Mackenzie Delta area
Principal Investigator: Burn, Chris R
Licensed Year(s): 1997 1996 1995 1994 1993 1992 1991
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....


Permafrost Studies: Western Arctic Coast
Principal Investigator: Mackay, J.R.
Licensed Year(s): 1997 1996 1995 1994 1993 1992 1991 1989
Summary: This on-going research of permafrost growth involves investigations at a large lake artificially drained in 1978. The study of pingos, started in 1969, and the study of ice wedges, started in 1966, involve measurements of ice growth....


Enivronmental Studies of the Ice-Bearing Region in Canadian Arctic
Principal Investigator: Fujino, Kazuo
Licensed Year(s): 1990
Summary: The Researcher and field team will conduct a geological survey and topographic traverse survey around the massive ground ice. They will take samples for ecological study and geochemical analysis....


Reconstruction of Holocene Environments
Principal Investigator: Begin, Christian
Licensed Year(s): 1990
Summary: The research team will investigate a few localities to determine the best sites to study eolian deposits (sand dunes) and features related to permafrost degradation. Samples of granular and organic deposits will be taken....


Licence #2111
Principal Investigator: Wankiewicz, Anthony
Licensed Year(s): 1977
Summary: To study permafrost near Arctic streams at sites near Inuvik and several locations in the Keewatin. This study is to provide baseline information on coupled heat-transfer processes relevant to cold gas pipeline stream crossings. The ground temperature will be monitored at stream cross sections at the different sites....
