Summary:
The research team seek to understand carbon dynamics during warm climate intervals in the Arctic: the Holocene Thermal Maximum (HTM) the warmest pre-industrial interval ranging in timing from 10 ka (thousands of years before present) with maximum seasonality to 6 ka with reduced seasonality, and the Medieval Climate Anomaly (MCA) at ~1 ka with similar seasonality as today. By studying peat cores f...

Summary:
The researchers will be involved in a mult-disciplined, integrated and focused series of investigation regarding water quality, hydrology and climatology, fisheries, aquatic, wildlife, vegetation, soils and terrain, and heritage resources. Taken with complementary socio-economic, traditional knowledge and environmental management investigations, this data will be used to prepare an environmental ...

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...

1993 Summary:
Since 1974, the permafrost landforms in this area have been studied. Investigations have included the collection of wind and soil temperatures, wind speed and precipitation levels. This information will increase our knowledge about how permafrost affects the shaping of the land. In addition, information will be collected on how vegetation responds to human activities as a result of the Canol Pr...

Summary:
As part of his trip to Inuvik with the International Tour of Permafrost Affected Soils, the researcher will record information about the ecology (including local climate conditions, soil conditions and plant communities) of the timberline at selected sites visited during the Tour. These sites are located along the Dempster Highway near Inuvik....
