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...


Coastal Sedimentary Processes and Geotechnical Conditions, North Head Area, Richards Island, Canadian Beaufort Sea
Principal Investigator: Solomon, Steven M
Licensed Year(s): 1991
Summary: The Researcher and his team will use a hand-operated auger to take sediment cores and temperature measurements. Cores will penetrate the seabed beneath the ice to a depth of 2-3 metres. Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) will be used to investigate ground ice distribution and a current meter will be used to measure sub-ice currents along the edge of the bottom-fast ice....


Coastal Geology of Northern Richards Island, Canadian Beaufort Sea
Principal Investigator: Forbes, D.L.
Licensed Year(s): 1991 1990
Summary: Geophysical surveys will be carried out from a 40-foot vessel and from 16-foot rubber boats to deploy current meters at two sites in water depths approximately 2 meters, to collect beach, cliff and seabed sediment samples and to survey beach and cliff morphology using theodolites and surveyors instruments....


Late Wisconsin (Late Foxe) Glacial Extent in Pangnirtung Fiord - Cumberland Sound Area, Baffin Island, Canada
Principal Investigator: Davis, P. Thompson
Licensed Year(s): 1992 1991 1990
Summary: The Researcher and his team will map and survey glacial abrasion limits, collect, describe and analyze soil samples from the Pangnirtung Pass and Pangnirtung Fiord areas to determine the direction and vertical extent of ice flow....
