Glaciological Investigations in the Ragged Range
Principal Investigator: McCarthy, Daniel P
Licensed Year(s): 2006 2005
Summary: The objectives of this study are to: 1) inventory the size and morphometry of glaciers in the Ragged Range; 2) find and document geological and botanical evidence of former glacier activity; 3) develop a chronology for Holocene glacier activity in the Ragged Range; and, 4) develop one or more growth curves for lichens growing on carbonate and/or silicate rocks. Also, the field reconnaissance and b...

Geoscientific research on Bylot Island and adjacent Baffin Island
Principal Investigator: Shilts, William W.
Licensed Year(s): 1993 1992 1991
Summary: The focus of this project is on examining the glacial and periglacial features of southern Bylot Island and the area near Pond Inlet. Researchers and graduate students will be collecting data on lichens, ice, land features and organisms in order to gain a better understanding of why glaciers of the area are retreating (melting)....
