Objective(s): To understand the rate of coastal change in the region, particularly with regard to the outbuilding of the Mackenzie Delta and the erosion of the Tuktoyaktuk Peninsula.
Project Description: The field activities consist of three small projects: (1) the measurement of beaches and a survey of Tibjak Beach (located 15km north of Tuktoyaktuk); (2) a study of the sand bars located at the mouth of the East Channel in Kittigazuit Bay; and (3) a preliminary study of the lakes of the Mackenzie Delta in order to determine which lakes will be selected for future research. These activities will contribute to our understanding of shoreline erosion and buildup.
