Mapping for Ground Ice along the ITH
Principal Investigator: Alvarez, Alejandro
Licensed Year(s): 2024 2023 2022
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...

Landscapes of the Mackenzie River delta and of the Tuktoyaktuk peninsula as possible analogues for the study of Martian landform development
Principal Investigator: Soare, Richard J
Licensed Year(s): 2009 2007 2006 2005 2004
Summary: The research objective is to sample the active layer of the permafrost in areas where patterned ground and thermokarst are present. The data gained will help the researchers to understand possible cold-climate processes in the northern hemisphere of Mars. The researchers will be based in Inuvik and Tuktoyaktuk. They intend to visit areas in the vicinity of Inuvik and Tuktoyaktuk where patterned...


Permafrost studies: western Arctic coast
Principal Investigator: Mackay, J. Ross
Licensed Year(s): 1997 1996 1995 1994 1993 1992 1991 1989
Summary: This permafrost study has been part of a long-term study first initiated in 1951. The researcher will collect data that will allow a better understanding of the growth of the ice wedges, pingos and permafrost....


Surface Shear Wave Seismic Profiling and Drilling
Principal Investigator: Good, Ron
Licensed Year(s): 1994 1993 1993 1992 1992 1991
Summary: The Geological Survey of Canada, as part of its on-going research activities, is planning to carry out a geotechnical survey in order to improve certain techniques used in investigating permafrost and ground ice characteristics. The techniques used are shear wave seismic reflection profiling (to determine soil properties) and drilling (to determine the origin of massive ground ice bodies in the v...


Permafrost Investigations in the Western Arctic
Principal Investigator: French, Hugh
Licensed Year(s): 1990
Summary: The Researchers will conduct initial exploration of potential sites for the purpose of undertaking stratigraphic and geomorphological investigations....


Enivronmental Studies of the Ice-Bearing Region in Canadian Arctic
Principal Investigator: Fujino, Kazuo
Licensed Year(s): 1990
Summary: The Researcher and field team will conduct a geological survey and topographic traverse survey around the massive ground ice. They will take samples for ecological study and geochemical analysis....


Licence #2111
Principal Investigator: Wankiewicz, Anthony
Licensed Year(s): 1977
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....
