1990 Summary:
The Researchers will use the ARKTOS 5 amphibious vehicle for geophysical surveying in the vicinity of Tuktoyaktuk and the proposed Amauligak pipeline landing site on Richards Island. They will measure nearshore sediment dynamics using wave and current meters at selected locations in the vicinity of the proposed pipeline landing site at North Head....
Principal Investigator:Marsh, Philip Licensed Year(s):19931992
1991
Summary:
The research will study changes in the water levels of a variety of lakes in the Mackenzie Delta. Investigations will include consideration of factors controlling the lake levels, introduction of floodwater from the Mackenzie River, rainfall on to the lake, smowmelt runoff into the lakes and evaporation from the lakes....

1991
1990 Summary:
During the last glacial period, 110,000 to 5,000 years to present some lakes escaped glaciation. The Researcher will retrieve sediment cores from three upland lakes to investigate the physical responses of the sediments and the biological responses of algae toward this climatic event....
Principal Investigator:Hamilton, James P. Licensed Year(s):
1991
Summary:
Karst landscapes are landforms developed on carbonate rocks in humid and temperate climates and are relatively rare in permafrost areas. The Researcher and team will focus on understanding how Karst has and is developing in the Northern Mackenzie Mountains. This will be done by identifying karst forms and examining how water moves in these environments....
Principal Investigator:Maus, Lin Licensed Year(s):
1991
Summary:
The project instructors will give students exposure to field methodologies involved in water, snow and ice environments....
Principal Investigator:Edwards, Thomas W.D. Licensed Year(s):
1990
Summary:
The Researcher and his assistant will collect samples of snow, rain, stream water, pond water and ground water from undisturbed sites in the Manners Creek Basin. Measurements of naturally occurring chemicals and isotopes in surface and subsurface waters will be used to study the movement and mixing of waters in a boreal watershed in the zone of continuous permafrost....
Principal Investigator:Hamilton, Stewart M. Licensed Year(s):
1990
Summary:
The team will investigate the hydrogeology, hydrogeochemistry and geology of the region and attempt to determine the cause and extent of carbon dioxide rich springs in the Flat River Valley region. They will also determine if a fault exists in the valley and if the springs delineate an active seismic zone....
Principal Investigator:Schunke, Ekkehard Licensed Year(s):200019941992
1990
Summary:
Dr. Schunke and his assistant will collect measurements and observations of surface forms and surface processes, soils, permafrost and hydrology...

Summary:
To conduct a low level (2000 ft. above groud level) a high level (30,000 ft. A.G.L.) aerial surveys of the reindeer rangeland. Ground truthing will also take place along with collection of plants, soil and water made to complete the study....
