Objective(s): To measure ice snow depth, ice thickness and composition survey on Noell Lake in the spring.
Project Description: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5723. To measure ice snow depth, ice thickness and composition survey on Noell Lake in the spring. Sample locations from previous years are located using a handheld GPS. On ice snow depth is measured using a tape measure. An ice auger is used to penetrate the ice cover and evaluate if white ice is present. If present the depth is measured. The remaining ice cover is drilled using the ice auger. A measurement of total ice thickness is recorded. A measurement of hydrostatic water level is recorded. -Annual report of research activities as per NWT Research License -Data uploaded to Lake Ice Database: https://data-donnees.ec.gc.ca/data/water/scientificknowledge/lake-ice-database/?lang=en -Research results will be presented in academic publication(s). The fieldwork for this study will be conducted from: April 01 - May 31, 2024 April 01 - May 31, 2025 April 01 - May 31, 2026 April 01 - May 31, 2027 April 01 - May 31, 2028
