Principal Investigator: Fabijan, Michael F
Licensed Year(s): 2003
Summary: A team consisting of two ice specialists, one locally hired wildlife monitor and one locally hired field technician will be flown by helicopter from Inuvik to perform on-ice field work at Devon's western and eastern offshore drilling locations. No low-l...

Principal Investigator: Evans, Kevin
Licensed Year(s): 2002
Summary: The physical oceanography of the Beaufort Sea work will involve the identification and review of existing physical oceanographic data, a summary of this information and the application of this information within the context of the assessment and protecti...

Principal Investigator: Solomon, Steve
Licensed Year(s): 2000 1999 1997 1996 1995 1994 1993 1992
Summary: A 16 foot inflatable boat and 40 hp motor will be used in junction with helicopters to transport 2 people and assorted equipment to coastal locations along the Tuktoyaktuk Peninsula, North Head and Mackenzie Delta. Each location is the site of long-term monitoring where repeat surveys are performed. The surveys are done to measure changes in water depth, erosion rate, sediment type and permafros...

Principal Investigator: Harwood, Lois
Licensed Year(s): 1993 1992
Summary: Members of each of the communities will be hired to sample and measure the ringed seals taken in the spring and summer harvests. These monitors will be trained prior to the field season in order to collect data on the size and location of the harvests, as well as measurements on the seals harvested including sexual maturity, health, and condition. Samples of tissue taken will include jaws, lungs...

Principal Investigator: Jeffries, Martin O.
Licensed Year(s): 1990 1987
Summary: Using a camp on the Arctic Ocean Dr. Jeffries and his research assistant will collect sea ice core samples and conduct a program of analysis. The sea ice in the region the samples will be taken represents some of the oldest, thickest and slowest- moving in the Arctic Ocean....

Principal Investigator: Parsons, Bruce
Licensed Year(s): 1985
Summary: To obtain data on the fracture toughness of sea-ice, its indentation toughness, the cantilever beam strength, and the velocity of a crack propagating in ice....

Principal Investigator: Jeffries, Martin O.
Licensed Year(s): 1985
Summary: To obtain ice cores from the sea ice and to examine the salinity and isotopic compostition of the ice in addition to the ice temperature to determine ice strength, age of the ice and rates of growth....

Principal Investigator: Sauriol, Yvan
Licensed Year(s): 1985
Summary: To conduct Phase II of Through-the-Ice-Sounding Study. Measurements will be made on rifle shots aimed vertically at the ice from a platform and firing shots at the ice from a helicopter to develop a non-contact through-the-ice sounding method....

Principal Investigator: Frederking, R.
Licensed Year(s): 1985
Summary: Measure general environmental factors, obtain temperature and salinity profile of the ice cover; ice features will be described and documented; measure ice movements by using arrays of reflectors and an electronic distance measuring device; measure ice pressures....
