Permafrost Studies: Western Arctic Coast
Principal Investigator: Mackay, Ross J.
Licensed Year(s): 1997 1996 1995 1994 1993 1992 1991 1989
Summary: Transportation to and from the field sites will be by helicopter, either from Tuktoyaktuk or Inuvik, to and from Garry Island and Illisarvik (West Point, Richards Island). Most of the equipment used in the field is for measurement purposes , such as surveying equipment for precise height, distance, and tilt determinations of bench marks already installed across ice wedges and elsewhere, temperatu...

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...

Investigation of ground ice development in sediments of the Mackenzie Delta area
Principal Investigator: Burn, Chris R
Licensed Year(s): 1997 1996 1995 1994 1993 1992 1991
Summary: The researcher will continue to collect samples of ground ice and measure temperatures in lakes and ponds. This information is used to help understand how the ground heaves as it freezes in winter, and to determine the extent of soil settlement during thaw in summer. The information about lakes is used to help understand the relations between water depths and temperatures beneath the lake....

Implications of climate change for slope stability in the Mackenzie Valley
Principal Investigator: Dyke, Larry
Licensed Year(s): 1993
Summary: In this ongoing study, the frequency and characteristics of landslides occurring in the Mackenzie Valley area are examined. I am trying to determine the roles that forest fires, climate changes and water flow in rivers play in the location and number of landslides. The field work will involve taking measurements on past landslides that include measuring permafrost features and taking core samples...

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....

Ice-rock-water interactions on southwestern Bylot Island
Principal Investigator: Hicock, Stephen R.
Licensed Year(s): 1992
Summary: The research will involve the study of the interplay (past and present) between glaciers, permafrost, meltwater and seawater on the southwestern side of the Bylot Island ice cap....

Physical Limnology of Romulus Lake
Principal Investigator: Davidge, Gillian
Licensed Year(s): 1992
Summary: A limnological study of Romulus Lake (specifically temperature, salinity and suspended particulate matter) in association with the pattern of lake-ice development and inflow from the lake basin will be used to determine the effects of the modern hydrologic environment on the lake....

Distribution and Genesis of Karst Landforms in the Northern Mackenzie Mountains, N.W.T.
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....

Isotope Hydrology and Geochemistry Studies, Manners Creek Basin, N.W.T.
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....
