Principal Investigator: Hyatt, James A.
Licensed Year(s): 1990 1989 1988 1987
Summary: Mr. Hyatt is continuing his study to see if permafrost and ground ice are affecting the new water reservoir at Pangnirtung and at Pond Inlet. He is also starting a new study at Cape Dorset, Lake Harbour, Broughton Island, Clyde River and Arctic Bay....

Principal Investigator: Mackay, J.R.
Licensed Year(s): 1988 1987
Summary: To understand better the origin of permafrost, the ice within permafrost, and the processes that help create the present geocryologic environment....

Principal Investigator: Pollard, Wayne H
Licensed Year(s): 1987
Summary: To complete a three year study concerned with the detailed investigation of ground ice characteristics by mapping ground ice distribution and stratigraphic relations along with collection of sediment and ice samples for grain, size, moisture content, isotope and crystallographic analysis. Field investigation will utilize existing ground ice slumps and permafrost exposures along coastal bluffs in ...

Principal Investigator: Lewkowicz, Antoni G
Licensed Year(s): 1994 1993 1992 1991 1990 1988 1987
Summary: To measure the energy exchanged over exposed thawing ground ice and to link this to the rate of retreat of the headwall of a ground ice slump. This is a continuation of work started in 1983 on Banks Island....

Principal Investigator: Lewkowicz, Antoni G
Licensed Year(s): 1985
Summary: To measure the energy exchange and rate of headwall retreat of a number of ground ice slumps....

Principal Investigator: Harry, David
Licensed Year(s): 1980
Summary: As part of a Ph.d. program to undertake a study of the nature of permafrost and ground ice conditions. Specific field operations will consist of an examination of coastal cliff rock sections. Samples will be collected for further study and analysis....

Principal Investigator: Chatwin, S.C.
Licensed Year(s): 1977
Summary: Coring a series of shallow holes (20 feet) on a peat plateau for peat, ground and ice stratigraphy....

Principal Investigator: French, Hugh
Licensed Year(s): 1976
Summary: Banks Island: Geomorphological Investigations - ground ice, pingos, mass-wasting and spring runoff will be investigated at sites in the Sachs and Upper Kellett drainage systems. Holman Island: Geomorphological studies will be of a reconnaissance nature and will emphasize rock weathering, cliff retreat and permafrost conditions within 10 miles of townsite....
