Summary: In 2002, the research team plans to complete bedrock and surficial mapping using helicopter-supported foot traverse. In the areas to be mapped at 1:50,000 scale, mapping will include helicopter setouts and pickups from bases of operation at Ft. Liard, an...


Stratigraphy of coastal barriers and under-ice current measurements at Atkinson Point, Tuktoyaktuk Peninsula, N.W.T.
Principal Investigator: Hequette, Arnaud
Licensed Year(s): 1993
Summary: The Canadian Beaufort Sea coast undergoes rapid changes in formation, including the formation and changes of spits and barrier islands. Climatic change, combined with a rise in sea levels, could result in longer ice-free periods, increased wave action and higher rates of coastal retreat and erosion. By measuring spits and barrier islands, analyzing the make-up of the coastal sediments, and measu...
