1. Permafrost and Ground Ice of the Expedition Fiord Area; 2. An investigation of the Origin and Nature of Massive Ground Ice on the Fosheim Peninsula
Principal Investigator: Pollard, W.H.
Licensed Year(s): 1994 1992 1991 1990 1988
Summary: This research involves the field investigation of natural exposures of massive ground ice and bodies of surface ice. Sites identified in previous field seasons will be visited and samples of ice, water and sediment will be taken for further analyses. The results of this research will help in the interpretation of climate change and the assessment of both natural and human induced terrain disturban...


Late Quaternary Dynamics of the Labrador/Foxe Sectors of the Laurentide Ice Sheet and Ice Sheet/Ocean Interaction in the North Atlantic
Principal Investigator: Miller, Gifford H.
Licensed Year(s): 1994 1993 1991 1990 1989 1987
Summary: The Research teams will continue to gather information to understand past glacial activity and sea level change in the eastern Canadian Arctic. They will take core samples from selected lakes and will record environmental change preserved in the lake sediments....


The origins of drumlins, a long elongated hill formed by glaciers, Snare Lake area
Principal Investigator: Shaw, John
Licensed Year(s): 1987
Summary: To study landforms made by glaciers, and in particular what happens beneath very large ice sheets. The shape and internal structure of drumlins and eskers (related landforms) will be sampled and measured in order to assess the theory that these have been formed by catastrophic floods of melt water....


Mass Balance Measurements on the White Glacier, Axel Heiberg Island: Long Term Record
