Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5023. The goals for this expedition are to test new equipment for characterizing the energy fluxes from and around thermokarst slumps and to establish a baseline for future subsidence measurements. Additionally, lake and atmospheric methane concentrations in relation to thermokarst slumps will be quantified. The research...

Licensed Year(s): 2021 2020
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.4980. The objectives of this study are to: 1) evaluate the geologic setting including geochemistry, and radiocarbon ages to establish a regional history of the area; 2) investigate the geologic setting of multiple buried ice bodies; and 3) develop a geologic map along the southern Inuvik to Tuktoyaktuk Highway (ITH) highlig...

Summary: 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...

Licensed Year(s): 2022 2021 2020 2019 2018 2017 2016 2015 2014 2013 2012 2011 2010 2009 2008 2007 2006 2005 2004 2003 2002 2001 2000 1999 1998
Summary: The researchers will be collecting samples of ground ice and permafrost soil, and measuring air, ground and lake water temperatures. This information will be used to provide an understanding of how permafrost conditions in the region have changed in the last few thousand years. Also measuring ground movement to determine how the ground deforms during the year, in particular, we will be measuring ...
