Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5791. The objectives of this study are to (1) evaluate the geologic setting including geochemistry, and dating of sediments to establish a regional history of the area. (2) investigate the geologic setting of multiple buried, massive ice bodies. And (3) develop a geologic and hazards map along the ITH, highlighting feature...

Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5723. To measure ice snow depth, ice thickness and composition survey on Noell Lake in the spring. 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 penetrate the ice cover and evaluate if white ice is present. If present ...

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 ...

Summary: Simple, inexpensive ice thickness gauges are installed on river channel ice. Usually 3-4 gauges per channel. Twenty gauges are installed in the Mackenzie Delta and 12 in Hay River. Every 10 days the gauges are read to obtain the total ice,white ice and snow quantities at each site. From this data the rates of ice growth and decay can be calculated and the approximate date at which the ice will...
