This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5155.
The objective of this project is to complete on ice snow depth, ice thickness and composition survey along with collection under ice core water quality information.
Sample locations from previous years are located using a handheld GPS. On ice snow depth is measured using a tape measure. An ice auger is used to pene...

20212020 Summary:
This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5130.
The first objective of this research is to understand how ground temperatures vary within the highway embankment between the border on the Dempster Highway and the north end of the Inuvik to Tuktoyaktuk Highway. The road surface varies little between these points and it is cleared in winter, so conditions should be un...

Summary:
Fundamental sea ice properties such as volume and surface characteristics change significantly within and between years. Arctic sea ice extent and thickness have undergone dramatic changes in the past decades.
The strength of ice-albedo feedback mechanism depends on area-averaged ice concentration, snow and ice thickness and in summer significantly on melt pond fraction. The sea ice retreat in ...

2017 Summary:
The objective is to compare differences in snow depth, density and morphology of a heavily forested site and a tundra site. The Principal Investigator (PI) will investigate the effect landscape (forest vs. tundra) has on seasonal snow pack evolution and physical properties (density, temperature, snow grain morphology, and stratigraphy) of the snowpack. These results will be compared to historical ...

Summary:
The observational platform will be a single aircraft, the Alfred Wegener Institute (AWI) POLAR 5, a modified DC-3 aircraft.
Objectives of this project are to:
1. determine the actual state of the sea ice thickness distribution in the western Arctic and what are trends of the Sea Ice thinning;
2. characterize the actual sea ice thickness distribution and identify trends in the sea ice thickne...
