Mechanical and thermal design of embankments built on permafrost
chercheur principal:
Année(s) de permis: 2020 2019
Résumé: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.4629. The main objective is to develop a practical method for the mechanical and thermal design of embankments built on permafrost based on the properties of the active layer and of the permafrost as well as the loading conditions. The development of decision-making tools to select the optimal course and the optimal embankm...


Self-stabilization of thaw slumps
chercheur principal:
Année(s) de permis: 2019
Résumé: The research team are studying the natural stabilization of thaw slumps in the aim to eventually develop adapted management strategies for infrastructure at risk. The specific objectives are to assess the variations of thaw slump stabilization across landscapes, regions, and climates; and to assess the positive and negative feedback effects controlling the natural stabilization of thaw slumps....

Résumé: This project continues the on-going monitoring program of permafrost monitoring and collection of baseline terrain information in the Mackenzie Valley Corridor, NWT. The objectives are: 1) To provide baseline knowledge of permafrost and terrain conditions (specifically ground temperature and permafrost active layer thickness) and improve characterization of terrain sensitivity in the Macken...


Climate change and postglacial paleoenvironmental history of peatlands in the Mackenzie Delta area
chercheur principal:
Année(s) de permis: 1993 1992
Résumé: This research is part of an international project that is aimed at documenting the history of changes in the treeline during the Holocene era. While much is known about the environment and climate of this era, little is known about the development of peatlands during this time. I will collect data on peat layering, pollen and fossils in order to determine how the peatlands developed during this ...
