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...

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....

The researcher will continue studies on the origin of permafrost, the ice found within permafrost and processes that help to create the present geocryologic environment. These studies will be conducted on Garry Island, Illisarvik, 20 km southwest of Tuktoyaktuk and at Paulatuk....

Summary:
To carry on with the establishment of a series of permafrost observatories in the NWT to provide a cross section of permafrost conditions, through wihch to conduct long term reserch on permafrost characteristics, permafrost stability, permafrost climate interaction and its response to man induced and natural disturbances, at which to evaluate new tools to determine the properties of permafrost....
