Coastal hazards, relative sea-level change, and climate impacts on northern coasts and seaways
Principal Investigator: Forbes, Donald L
Licensed Year(s): 2006 2005 2004 2003 2002 2001
Summary: This project involves monitoring changes in the coast and refining estimates of land uplift or subsidence using passive geodetic and survey measurements at sites throughout the western Arctic, supported by existing data on coastal submergence and emergence from geological observations. Long-term coastal change under existing climate and sea-level trends will be determined at reference sites of th...


Coastal Impacts of Climate Change
Principal Investigator: Forbes, Donald L
Licensed Year(s): 2000 1999 1997 1996 1995 1994 1993 1992
Summary: The Coastal Impacts project on the Beaufort Sea coast has two complementary objectives: 1. To improve our understanding of coastal processes; 2. To develop methods for prediction of coastal impacts of changing climate. Field work will be performed in the modern Mackenzie Delta, along the Tuktoyaktuk Peninsula coast, and at North Head if time permits. Collaborative field work in Ivva...


Coastal evolution and sedimentary processes in the Mackenzie Delta and Tuktoyaktuk Peninsula region
Principal Investigator: Hill, Philip R.
Licensed Year(s): 1994 1993 1992
Summary: The researchers will examine the rate of coastal change in the outer Mackenzie Delta region in order to understand the factors contributing to present delta formation and coastal erosion, and to understand how global climate warming may affect coastal change. Surveys on beaches, sand bars and delta lakes will be conducted....
