Coastal hazards, relative sea-level change, and climate impacts on northern coasts and seaways
Principal Investigator: Forbes, Donald L
Licensed Year(s): 2006 2005 2004 2003 2002 2001
Summary: The goal of this research is to monitor the coastal response to storms and coastal vulnerability to climate change. The primary objectives of this project are to: 1) map the western Canadian Arctic coastline in terms of its sensitivity to coastal erosion...

Permafrost investigations, western arctic Canada
Principal Investigator: Burn, Chris R
Licensed Year(s): 2022 2021 2020 2019 2018 2017 2016 2015 2014 2013 2012 2011 2010 2009 2008 2007 2006 2005 2004 2003 2002 2001 2000 1999 1998
Summary: The investigator will measure change in the ground due to uplift, by the growth of a pingo and from side to side by the ground cooling in winter. Air, ground water and lake temperatures will be measured. This information will be used to understand how permafrost is responding to climate variation. Travel to sites is by helicopter and snow machine. At the site the investigators will stay at a cab...

Hydrological modelling for a permafrost site and arctic snow accumulation and melt
Principal Investigator: Woo, Ming-ko
Licensed Year(s): 1994 1993
Summary: This on-going study attempts to find out how permafrost affects the groundwater, streamflow and levels of water in wetlands. Measurements such as soil moisture, rainfall, ground and air temperatures, and water level will be taken. This research will help to determine how climatic change affects permafrost and water bodies in the Arctic....

Hydrology and geochemistry of a high arctic lake basin: Colour Lake, Axel Heiberg Island, NWT
Principal Investigator: English, Michael C
Licensed Year(s): 1994 1992 1991
Summary: The researchers are interested in understanding how physical factors (snowmelt, rainfall, solar radiation) play a role in thawing the upper part of the ground each year during the spring and summer. Instruments in the ground will collect data that will estimate how much energy (from the sun) is entering into and melting the frozen ground. Other instruments will measure snowmelt, rainfall and the...

Fate of Sewage-Derived Contaminants in a Shallow Sand Aquifer, Fort Resolution, N.W.T.
Principal Investigator: McNaughton, Duane
Licensed Year(s): 1992
Summary: The researcher will drill and complete some 20 observation wells in the vicinity of the Fort Resolution sewage infiltration pit. Sample groundwater and analyze it for sewage derived contaminants and coliform bacteria. A report will be prepared with recommendations based on the findings and submitted to relevant agencies in the N.W.T....

The Nature and Origin of Ground Ice in the High Arctic and Icing as a Hydrologic Component of Northern Drainage Basins
Principal Investigator: Pollard, Wayne H
Licensed Year(s): 1994 1992 1991 1990 1988
Summary: The researchers will gain a better understanding of permafrost conditions of the study area and the environmental conditions under which permafrost formed and evolved. They will also investigate icings and icing processes, since icings are a hydrologic phenomenon and their occurance has implications for recharge and runoff of drainage systems and water resource management....

Recent Deposition of Sediments and Air-borne Contaminants in some Central Keewatin Lakes, NWT
Principal Investigator: Edwards, Thomas W.D.
Licensed Year(s): 1988
Summary: Dr. Edwards is collecting soil samples from the bottom of a lake to determine what types of contaminants have settled from the air into the water. He is also collecting water samples from lakes, rivers, and in the ground to learn more about how rain water and melt water move through earth which has permafrost below it....

Geomorphology and Groundwater Hydrology of the Lower Devonian Bear Rock Formation, N.W.T.
Principal Investigator: Ford, Derek C.
Licensed Year(s): 1988 1987
Summary: Jim Hamilton, a student of Dr. Ford from McMaster University, and his field assistant will hike through these areas to record the locations of different kinds of rocks and landforms. He is also interested in finding out how water from snowmelt and rain travels through the soil and rocks to come out at various springs. To do this, he will inject a nonpoisonous fluid so that he can trace the water...

Dispersal of toxic substances in soil and water from an abandoned arctic waste disposal site.
Principal Investigator: Haertling, Joachim
Licensed Year(s): 1987
Summary: To assess the role of permafrost in the movement of potentially toxic substances carried in water flow over the surface and through the active layer; det. rates and amnts. of deposition of these materials in the active layer, the upper part of the permafrost zone and in the sediments and water of lakes and ponds in the vicinity of the dump; assess the changes to the nearby environ. duri...
