202220212020 Summary:
This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5475.
The primary objective of this research is to determine the influence of snow manipulation on permafrost temperatures in different environments along the Inuvik to Tuktoyaktuk Highway (ITH). A secondary objective is to better understand the relationship between snow cover and ground surface temperatures in both natural...

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:
Uniform permafrost and ground surface temperature measurements are one of the more important databases for long-term climatic study as well as remote sensing ground truthing data. Consistency in sensor depth, casing and drilling methods helps in comparison of the spatial and temporal distribution of the permafrost and seasonal conditions. The proposed partnership with the schools aids continuous m...

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....
