North Slave Permafrost Study: Characterization and Predicting Discontinuous Permafrost for Climate Change Adaptation
chercheur principal: Wolfe, Stephen A
Année(s) de permis: 2024 2023 2022 2021 2020
Résumé: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5775. This activity describes and predicts the occurrence of discontinuous permafrost in the northern Great Slave Lake region to assist in planning, development and maintenance of community and industry infrastructure. Changes in climate are affecting permafrost distribution, temperatures and geotechnical conditions. Diffe...


Permafrost monitoring and collection of baseline terrain information in the Mackenzie Valley Corridor, NWT
chercheur principal: Smith, Sharon S
Année(s) de permis: 2023 2022 2021 2020 2019
Résumé: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5419. This project continues the on-going monitoring and collection of baseline terrain information in the Mackenzie Valley Corridor, NWT. This phase of the project is largely data collection. Objectives are to provide baseline knowledge of permafrost and terrain conditions (specifically ground temperature and active la...


Permafrost monitoring and collection of baseline terrain information in the Mackenzie Valley Corridor, NWT
chercheur principal: Smith, Sharon S
Année(s) de permis: 2018 2017 2016 2015 2014 2013 2012 2011 2010 2009 2008 2007 2006
Résumé: This project continues the on-going monitoring program of permafrost monitoring and collection of baseline terrain information in the Mackenzie Valley Corridor, NWT. This phase of the project is largely data collection. The specific objectives are: 1) to provide baseline knowledge of permafrost and terrain conditions (specifically ground temperature and permafrost active layer thickness) and ...


Thermal State of Permafrost
chercheur principal: Siegfried, Dian
Année(s) de permis: 2016 2013 2010
Résumé: The objective of this project is to continue an ongoing long-term monitoring of permafrost temperatures on Banks Island and Mould Bay. At these sites the research team have lost remote (satellite) communication and need to make repairs to continue receiving data. The research team are currently monitoring active layer and permafrost temperatures, active layer soil moisture, air temperature, and...


Community based permafrost and active layer monitoring program
chercheur principal: Yoshikawa, Kenji KY
Année(s) de permis: 2013
Résumé: Uniform permafrost and ground surface temperature measurements are one of the more important databases for long-term climatic study as well as remote sensing ground truthing data. Consistency in sensor depth, casing and drilling methods helps in comparison of the spatial and temporal distribution of the permafrost and seasonal conditions. The proposed partnership with the schools aids continuous m...


Active Layer Monitoring Network in the Mackenzie Valley
chercheur principal: Nixon, Frederick M
Année(s) de permis: 2008 2007 2006 2005 2004 2003 2002 2001 2000 1999 1998 1997 1996 1995 1994 1993 1992 1991 1990
Résumé: The active layer is the earth overlying permafrost that thaws from the surface and re-freezes each year, and it responds to climate change. Active layer thickness influences vegetation and soil conditions, potentially influencing hunting, forestry, etc. and it’s, thickness, texture and moisture content affects foundations. Changes in the active layer and thaw depth can contribute to slope instabil...


Snow accumulation/runoff in high latitude permafrost basins
chercheur principal: Marsh, Philip
Année(s) de permis: 2005 2004 2003 2002 2001 2000 1999 1998 1997 1996 1995 1994 1993 1992 1990
Résumé: The primary objective of this project is to improve understanding of the changes in water and energy in northern regions, and to develop improved computer models of these processes. The Trail Valley Creek, Hans Creek, and Zed Creek sites will be accessed...


Permafrost response to recent climate warming in the Mackenzie Delta and Yukon Coast.
chercheur principal: Wolfe, Stephen A
Année(s) de permis: 1999
Résumé: The objective of the present study is to assess the impact of recent warming, including the warm summer of 1998, on active layer thicknesses and slope stability in the Mackenzie Delta, N.W.T. and Yukon North Slope. The main mode of transportation will be by helicopter (206L) and by boat to transport people. The helicopter will be based out of Inuvik with a fuel cache at Tuktoyaktuk. The helicop...


Investigation of ground ice development in sediments of the Mackenzie delta area.
chercheur principal: Burn, Chris R
Année(s) de permis: 1997 1996 1995 1994 1993 1992 1991
Résumé: The purpose is to collect samples of ground ice and to measure air, ground, and lake temperatures. We use the information to help understand how the permafrost in the area has changed in the last few thousands years, in order to determine what might happen in the future....


Impact of Climatic Change on Earth Surface Processes, Fosheim Peninsula, Ellesmere Island
chercheur principal: Lewkowicz, Antoni G
Année(s) de permis: 1994 1993 1992 1991 1990 1988 1987
Résumé: The aim of this ongoing research is to establish links between climate and the movements of soil. By collecting this type of data, it may be possible to determine the effect that climate changes may have on the movements of soil down slopes, into rivers and eventually into the sea. The project has been underway for several years because soil movements are mostly slow and therefore difficult to mea...
