201120102009 Summary:
By measuring the changing volume of the ice cap and maintaining an Automatic weather station the research team is able to tell how much the climate is changing. The snow sampling tells how clean the snow and thus the air above it and whether it is changing.
While at the Melville ice cap, the team lives in a small hut by the side of the ice cap constructed last year. There is an automatic weathe...

The objectives of this ongoing research project are: (a) to monitor climate change by measuring the changing volume of the ice cap and maintaining an automatic weather station, and (b) to monitor air and snow pollution by sampling snow and sending it to be analyzed.
Based out of the Polar Continental Shelf Project in Resolute Bay, NU, two personnel will fly by Twin Otter to the ice cap, and liv...

Summary:
Measurements of the glacier's surface will be taken using ground surveys and radio echo sounding. In addition, data will be collected on the amounts of snow accumulation and meltwater run-off as well as the chemistry of the snow, water and ice. This information will provide us with a better understanding of glaciers in terms of their growth/shrinkage, contribution of water to the local environme...
