Objective(s): 1. To examine, photograph, sample, and relate subsurface and surface expressions of ground ice and permafrost. 2. To sample sediment and ground ice found in the new Pangnirtung reservoir and along any natural exposures. 3. To collect unconsolidated sediment and ice core samples at the selected field sites. 4. To implant shallow thermal probes at the selected field sites. 5. To conduct non-contacting apparent ground conductivity surveys using a geonics EM-31 electromagnetic induction instrument.
