Investigations of coastal ice exposures as analogues to ice-exposing scarps on Mars
Principal Investigator: Koutnik, Michelle
Licensed Year(s): 2023
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5390. The research team propose investigating icy Arctic scarps as analogues for ice-exposing scarps on Mars. Scarp-side exposures of massive tabular ice, overlain by a polygonized overburden dotted with thermokarstic depressions, occur in the continuous and extremely deep permafrost of the Tuktoyaktuk Coastlands in the Can...

Oxidation Processes and the Preservation of Organic Biosignatures in a Permafrost Dominated Environment – A Martian Analogue in the Canadian Arctic
Principal Investigator: Osinski, Gordon
Licensed Year(s): 2008
Summary: This license has been issued for the scientific research application # 878. The objective of this research is to examine the “Golden Deposit” rock formation similar to that recently discovered on Mars. The NASA rover, called “Opportunity,” discovered sulfur-bearing minerals on Mars, suggesting past water, and maybe life. This research will help researchers understand how these water systems wo...

Arctic Analogues of Utopia and western Elysium Planitia, Mars
Principal Investigator: Soare, Richard J
Licensed Year(s): 2009 2007 2006 2005 2004
Summary: This project’s objective is to take multiple, small .25kg samples of the active layer of permafrost in areas where patterned ground and thermokarst are present. The data gained will help the researchers in their efforts to understand possible cold climate processes in the northern hemisphere of Mars. The researchers intend to visit areas in the vicinity of Inuvik and Tuktoyaktuk where polygonal...
