Emission of Biogenic Volatile Organic Compounds from Western-Canadian Tundra During the Autumn Freeze-up Period.
Principal Investigator: Huffman, Bill
Licensed Year(s): 2000
Summary: It is proposed that about 12 air samples would be collected into 6 liter stainless steel canisters using a small (<10kg) battery powered air sampler. Additionally, a 0.5 cubic meter open-bottom PVC chamber would be placed on the tundra for a period of 4-6 hours. Air would be sampled from the chamber periodically to establish biogenic emmission rates of n-butanol and other volatile organic compo...

Pealand-Permafrost Mapping and Environmental Implications.
Principal Investigator: Kettles, Inez
Licensed Year(s): 1994
Summary: The researcher will map the configuration of peat deposits and permafrost within them using geophysical surveys (ground penetrating radar and EM-31). This will involve setting out a traverse line on foot using measuring tape and flagging tape, taking measurements along the traverse line with hand-held equipment and measuring the depth of peat using a probe. The researcher will drive or fly out ...

Fire, carbon budget and climate change
Principal Investigator: Wein, Ross
Licensed Year(s): 1993
Summary: The research team will be examining areas of permafrost south of Inuvik and near Hay River in order to assess the rate of loss of permafrost as a result of the warming in climate over the past twenty years. The loss in permafrost may be speeded up following a local fire. The wetlands that replace these areas of permafrost could lead to a greater production of methane (one of the gases that contr...
