This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5390.
The research team propose investigating icy Arctic scarps as analogues for ice-exposing scarps on Mars. Scarp-side exposures of massive tabular ice, overlain by a polygonized overburden dotted with thermokarstic depressions, occur in the continuous and extremely deep permafrost of the Tuktoyaktuk Coastlands in the Can...

200520042003 Summary:
Sand, gravel and crushed stone are valuable geological resources, collectively known as aggregates. They are essential bed, foundation and building materials. The presence of massive ice in aggregate deposits results in a series of resource management problems, particularly for the oil industry and its contractors who rely on local granular deposits as building material. From an environmental pers...

1998 Summary:
The main objective of the proposed research is to establish the origin of massive bodies of underground ice at three key massive-ice localities in the Mackenzie Delta area: i) Mason Bay area, NE Richards Island; (ii) the central Eskimo Lakes region and (iii) the Liverpool Bay area. The research will be carried out by an interdisciplinary team of scientists examining the geology, glaciology and c...
