19901988 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...

199019891987 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....
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....

1987
Summary:
To carry out mass balance measurements on White Glacier, Axel Heiberg Island, NWT, continuing the long term record. Limnological work on Colour Lake and monitoring of lake ice regime throughout melt constitute further research....
