Principal Investigator: Doré, Guy
Licensed Year(s): 2020 2019
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.4629. The main objective is to develop a practical method for the mechanical and thermal design of embankments built on permafrost based on the properties of the active layer and of the permafrost as well as the loading conditions. The development of decision-making tools to select the optimal course and the optimal embankm...

Principal Investigator: Povey, Andrew
Licensed Year(s): 2005 2004 2003 2002
Summary: The 2005 terrestrial studies in the Inuvialuit Settlement Region (ISR) will include vegetation classification, rare plant surveys, and landform, soil and permafrost investigations. The studies will be conducted by three- or four-person crews supported by helicopter and based in Inuvik. A local assistant will be hired as part of each survey team. Air calls from a helicopter will be used to map ...

Principal Investigator: Hanna, Allan
Licensed Year(s): 1992 1991 1990
Summary: Instruments will be installed along suspected problem areas during construction and monitoring will take place during freezeback. The information gathered will be utilized to make recommendations for future material selection and construction designs....

Principal Investigator: Wankiewicz, A.
Licensed Year(s): 1978
Summary: A permafrost study near Arctic streams to provide baseline information on coupled heat transfer proceses relevant to cold gas pipeline stream crossings....

Principal Investigator: Wankiewicz, Anthony
Licensed Year(s): 1977
Summary: To study permafrost near Arctic streams at sites near Inuvik and several locations in the Keewatin. This study is to provide baseline information on coupled heat-transfer processes relevant to cold gas pipeline stream crossings. The ground temperature will be monitored at stream cross sections at the different sites....

Principal Investigator: Wankiewicz, A.
Licensed Year(s): 1976
Summary: To study the permafrost near two Arctic streams. This study is to provide baseline and process information on coupled heat transfer processes relevant to cold gas pipeline stream crossings....

Principal Investigator: French, Hugh
Licensed Year(s): 1976
Summary: To carry out terrain sensitivity mapping, sump studies and to carry out permafrost and terrain examinations at selected points along the proposed Panarctic pipeline route from Cameron Island....
