Summary:
This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5561.
Through ERT and PS methods, the extent and depth will be mapped to the top of ice-bearing permafrost (IBP) offshore of Tuktoyaktuk Island. On land, ERT surveys will also reveal information on permafrost characteristics like ice content, but offshore, tools can only reliably map the thickness of the unfrozen body (tali...
