This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5450.
The objectives of this integrated monitoring and research project is to provide 1) science based knowledge pertaining to the patterns and rates of climate change, and 2) a quantitative basis for estimating Canada’s contributions to global sea-level rise.
Glacier mass balance is defined as the difference between th...

2016 Résumé:
The objective of the study is to date the formation of terminal moraines fronting Brintnell Glacier, and analyze the glacigenic signature within the sediments of Glacier Lake in order to develop a robust chronology of glacier change on the Brintnell-Bologna Icefield. This decade to century scale chronology will be compared to regional-to-hemispheric climate proxies to evaluate the climate sensitiv...

The overall objective of this research is to improve the knowledge on lake ice and its effect on food webs/productivity in small Arctic lake systems in order to better predict changes that could occur under changing climate.
The research involves the automated ice buoy and instrumented subsurface mooring system for continuous monitoring of weather conditions, lake ice cover (formation, growth o...

Résumé:
Climate change and sea ice change affects all who live in the north. The aim of this project is to improve understanding of the physical processes in Arctic clouds and their contribution to the current changes in the polar environment, and thereby reducing uncertainties in regional and global model simulations important for future weather and climate prediction.
These research activities combin...

The objective of this research is to understand how climate change is affecting permafrost in the western Arctic, particularly in the outer Mackenzie delta. The research team also intends to investigate the ice content of the ground and how this may affect terrain stability. The research team wishes to study changes in ground temperature at various locations in the western Arctic, ranging from Her...

20072006200520042003 Résumé:
The objectives of this ongoing research project are: (a) to monitor climate change by measuring the changing volume of the ice cap and maintaining an automatic weather station, and (b) to monitor air and snow pollution by sampling snow and sending it to be analyzed.
Based out of the Polar Continental Shelf Project in Resolute Bay, NU, two personnel will fly by Twin Otter to the ice cap, and liv...

Résumé:
Ice patches in the Mackenzie Mountains are areas of permanent ice that last through the summer months and often contain frozen caribou remains (mostly dung) and archaeological artifacts such as hunting weapons and tools. As the climate warms, these ice patches are beginning to melt, and there is a risk of losing the biological and archaeological information they contain. Using a technique known a...

2005 Résumé:
Little is known about glacier activity in the Ragged Ranges. Glaciers are the source of the South Nahanni River, which supplies moisture to the entire Nahanni ecosystem. The research will help complete existing databases and aid the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. Regional assessments will help estimate the costs of climate change and inform debates on Kyoto targets and the proposed exp...
