Objective(s): To determine the magnitude and nature of frost heave in lake-bottom sediments during seasonal freezing; to examine the winter hydrology of lakes connected to Channels of the Mackenzie Delta
Project Description: The research team will monitor the amount of heave that occurs in lake-bottom sediments during winter, after water freezes to the bottom of lakes, because these environments are the best for examining the hydrology of frost heaving.
