NWT RESEARCH DATABASE

Principal Investigator: Weaver, Jeff
Licensed Year(s): 1991
Summary: The research team will spray a small area of grounded rubble with sea water and measure the sliding resistance of the rubble. They will measure ice loads on the rubble, the horizontal movement of the landfast ice sheet and the rubble field....

Principal Investigator: Ecclestone, Miles
Licensed Year(s): 1993 1991 1990 1988 1987
Summary: The Researcher and team will take measurements of the accumulation of snow on the glaciers and try to acertain how much snow and ice has been lost or gained since it was measured in 1989. Acidity in Colour Lake will be studied. They will also monitor any impacts their activity has had on the wetland through which the lake drains....

Principal Investigator: Bird, D. le R.
Licensed Year(s): 1990
Summary: The researcher will carry out monthly collections of snow for analysis; ice algae from ice cores; ice crystals for analysis; snow samples during snow storms and a three-hourly traditional meteorology program....

Principal Investigator: Howland, William G.
Licensed Year(s): 1990
Summary: Professor Howland will carry out a winter field course for students of the Northern Studies Program of Middlebury College in Vermont, U.S.A. Using the Research Centres in Igloolik and Iqaluit, students will study polar physical conditions of the Arctic environment in winter....

Principal Investigator: Glew, John R.
Licensed Year(s): 1988 1987
Summary: This is the last year that John Glew will be examining the bottom of Pangnirtung Fiord. He has been sampling and taking measurements of the seafloor soil, the animals and plants that dwell on the seafloor, seawater, and the effects that ice have on the intertidal shores....

Principal Investigator: Pollard, Wayne H
Licensed Year(s): 1994 1992 1991 1990 1988
Summary: Dr. Pollard and Mark Hinton are examining the characteristics of glacier ice buried at the snout of Thompson Glacier in order to compare this ice with certain ground ice deposits located in the Mackenzie Delta and Yukon Coastal Plain areas....

Principal Investigator: Nadreau, Jean-Paul
Licensed Year(s): 1988
Summary: Dr. Nadreau will be taking samples of ice from trenches dug in the sea ice. He is interested in learning more about the changes in ice structure under pressure....

Principal Investigator: Viren, Tom
Licensed Year(s): 1984
Summary: To install automatic water level gauges at Bell Rock, Brule Point, and one at the bifurcation with the Jean River. Spot water levels will be measured at other points of interest along the river. Measurements of ice thicknesses, water temperatures and flow velocities under the ice will be made....

Principal Investigator: Cochran, George Van B.
Licensed Year(s): 1982
Summary: To conduct studies, measurements and observations on the mechanical behaviour of sea and glacial ice. (This licence covers only the research aspect of the expedition)....

Principal Investigator: Washburn, A.L.
Licensed Year(s): 1982
Summary: To continue a five year study on various ice process in the area....
